AOL EmailHi Jude, It's so good to hear that you are home again. Home, sweet home. And yes, we all had our arms wrapped around you. Now we need to ask that the doctors will have the wisdom to find out what kind of bacteria you have, and find a treatment. And while we're at it, how about if we find you some medication that doesn't make you sick!
You know that we all love you and miss your posts. When you're feeling up to it, please post and let us know how you are and if there is any news on that darn bacteria. Oh yeah, and don't worry, we'll take care of Gunny for you! (love you Gunny) Hugs, Linda in Eagle, ID ----- Original Message ----- From: heyjude48...@aol.com<mailto:heyjude48...@aol.com> To: kimr1...@bellsouth.net<mailto:kimr1...@bellsouth.net> ; TMIC-LIST@eskimo.com<mailto:TMIC-LIST@eskimo.com> Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 12:51 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] Any news on Jude? Yes, I have an update on myself. But first, thank you all for the love and prayers sent my way. I am sure I could feel the warmth of all of your arms around me and the prayers have worked, because I am now home. The doctors still do not know the names of the bacteria that has invaded my body. They have sent cultures out to U of M in Ann Arbor (A2), but no one can figure out what kind of bacteria they are. I now have several new ones and all the docs say is that the bacteria is "colonic" in nature, meaning they come from the colon, but they have not been seen before so no one knows how to treat them. There is no problem with sending me to Ann Arbor, but so far it has been sufficient to send the labs, and I agree with that. I am just a tad septic, with an attack of autonomicdysreflexia that caused my blood pressure to plummet. I was talking to Gunny at the time, so it is his fault!!! LOL... My home nurse had just arrived so when she got in the house, Gunny hung up, but he waited online for me, not wanting to leave me alone. The nurse took vitals and my blood pressure was 85/54 and she immediately called 911. I remember nothing after that, but woke up in the hospital later on. They didn't do a whole lot for me in the hospital because the drugs they were giving me were making me feel sick. Each time they tried a new med I would throw it back up at them and so they quit that after a while. The wounds, (pressure sores) are what are infected and now the bones in that vicinity are dx'd as being diseased too, so treatment it very difficult. This time, before sending me home, they took deep biopsies and lots of blood to send to the various labs in the area, including A2. Umm, I have not had much energy. All blood levels are low, except for the ones that are supposed to be low...those are high! Well, folks, I am getting tired and sleepy. So will go for now and catch you up on the rest later. I love and appreciate you all.
