I hope she's improving. How's your Dad doing? He's got an awful lot on him alot of the time.

Prayers and Hugs to you! Hope everything improves for your mom, and you start feeling better too!! Take care!

They are back to calling it a stroke

I'm not exactly sure what's going on because my steroids have kicked inAnd I am not paying attention to things very well

I got one of my aunts to drive me home My best friend is going to come over Little While hang out And possibly find me some food

I'm just glad I'm done with the IV steroids

Now I can sit at home to wait and find out what's going on with my mother

It may still be something viral or bacterial It might've been triggered by a virus I don't knowI talked to the infectious Disease doctorperson and she suggested that I don't come up to the hospital since I'm on Steroids Since they're not sure when yet what's causing everything

I am so wiped out now it's not even funny I do think the Steroids might be helping a little bit somewhere somehow.

I'm in a go upstairs and wait for my best friend to show up and see if there's any food

Erin, I hope your mom recovers quickly and that you get fed and rested. Be patient, the 'roids take there own time.

H Erin

I hope that all goes well with your mum, that your dad is able to cope with everything that's going on, and that you are feeling some benefit from the steroids.

All last night they were told me it was a stroke. My dad had me so freaked out because he was talking about funerals

This morning around 1 AM my dad decided to go up to the hospital because he was stressed out and didn't want to stay at home. He said he walked into the room. And my mom talk to him. She apparently was asking where I was. I was home freaking out. I'm all hopped up on steroids, and I was trying to get some sleep.

So now they're saying not a stroke. I keep asking my dad that. You know to make sure that it's not a stroke. Now they're saying it's probably some sort of meningitis. I don't know if they're sure about that yet. But they are looking in to see if it's West Nile virus because we sit outside a lot in the summer.

I am still so freaked out about this, probably because I'm hopped up on steroids right now. I have to wait till she's home and screaming at me for ruining something. Maybe we should tell her I stole 8 dollars out of her wallet yesterday for lunch. That'll get her yelling at me.

I hope the stress of this did not push my MS over the edge. My hands are still numb and tingly, I'm still using the voice recognition software on my computers, and I'm using my iPad's voice recognition to write this.

I slept till almost one this afternoon and missed my time to take my oral steroids

That might be why my hands are all tingly right now. Normally have been getting the IV at 8 o'clock in the morning.

I keep calling my dad, and I keep asking him to make sure wasn't a stroke. I'm probably going to keep doing that for my mom is home and yelling at me for stealing eight dollars from her wallet.

I am still a little worried that my mom is contagious if it's a meningitis. Hopefully it's nothing contagious. I don't want to have to take antibiotics too.

I'm going back to bed.

Are you alone, Erin? Might it be a good idea to have someone with you?

I hope things resolve soon and that they get a handle on the dx. Can meningitis bring on a stroke? Is there another facility you can take her to for a different opinion? best
