RE: Porrah's MRI & anethesia ?

[Guest guest]

Darla,

So sorry to hear of all the problems Zipporah is having. It isn't enough that Asenath has so many problems, and now Zipporah. I remember when Audrey had her MRI's they sedated her with Chlorohydrate and the first time she was pretty much out of it for at least a day and a half. They second time they didn't use nearly as much medication and she did much better. Maybe the GI doc could get you in sooner than the 2nd of Feb if they have a cancellation. I am praying for all of you.

May God be with you,

Kathy, grandma to Audrey,29mos

Darla: I don't have experience with that, but hope that she will get well

after the anesthesia completely leaves her. I'm hoping and praying for you

to get smoothly to that Feb appt. Why aren't the docs in more of a hurry,

it is so frustrating... Thinking of you.

Subject: Porrah's MRI & anethesia ?

We are home from Zipporrah's MRI/MRA finally. We went up yesterday

figuring to come home following the procedure but ended up needing to stay

overnight for observation. We used an IV anesthesia with a preparatory

dose of Versaid and the techs said all went fine with the scans. However,

following it she was very slow to wake and had a lot of difficulty nursing.

She hadn't nursed from 8:30 AM until after 5 PM that evening (Her scans

were at 1:30-3:00 PM). She seemed famished and so I tried to nurse her.

She just kept gulping tons of air very loudly, gagging, and was swallowing

over and over again after only 2 sucks and could hardly catch her breath.

This kept happening all evening. We tried for several hours to get her to

nurse (her IV fell out during the procedure I learned so she was without

any nourishment) and finally got one half decent meal in her at bedtime.

She was very floppy all evening and I had to support her head totally or it

would flop. Still this morning, even after being released, she has thrown

up 5 times and not able to hold much down. I am wondering if others have

had this experience and if so how long before it got better. She had

problems before the scans with gagging, air swallowing, and reflux, but now

it has multiplied in intensity and is worrying me. Somehow I have to get

to the Feb. 2nd GI visit to get testing done on her Noone seems to be in a

hurry at all except for me.

Darla,

Yes, I am well familiar with the delayed time of recovery with

Versaid. I remember it took Lily 5 days to recover from it once. But

Lily was still able to drink & that would be my concern with

Zipporrah, the risk of becoming dehydrated from not nursing &

vomitting.

Feb 2nd is a long ways off and if you are feeling that uneasy about

her present condition, then maybe it's time to make some noise. What

do YOU want for Zipporrah? What do YOU think she needs? And then

start the campaigning for it hard! Do you feel she needs nourshiment,

IV? If her condition has declined since being released, then call,

call, call your doc or go to the ER. But before you go, I think you

should decide what you want for her.

I remember one day calling the neuro's office 5 times in the AM, it

was getting critical and I finally said to Tom in exasperation- " You

do it! " . Well don't you know we got an immediate response and put

right in to the hospital. right where I knew we needed to be but it

wasn't happening with my girlie voice and I'm no push over. It's

maddening, and it drives me crazy but some times you get better

results when the Daddy calls.

Darla, I have no advice just praying you are able to hang in there

until February 2 and that Zipporrah is feeling better.
