Yikes Dood! Sorry to hear that, but hope Mom heals quickly; will be sending up prayers for you both.

Oh Doody, I am so sorry. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. I hope it all goes well.

Big sigh here ~ so sorry to hear this Doody. Sending positive thoughts and prayers.

I'm sorry too Doody. I hope that all goes well, and the surgeon's able to achieve an excellent outcome this time.

You and your mom will remain in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us up to date.

Many troughts, prayers and Doody.

Atleast its not a long term stay. It will be over before she knows it. Better one night in the hospital than loss of the use of that arm.

Hugs to you Doody and to your Mom.

My last report for the day (everyone sighs a sigh of relief, LOL).

The infectious disease specialist showed up. They are keeping her until Monday. Because, he wants her to have 2 vancomycin treatments a day but wants her to be observed while she is getting the treatments. Plus, the kidneys have to be monitored closely.

Here's what happened to me when I had vancomycin. They gave me vancomycin before a colonoscopy years and years ago because they thought they detected a heart murmur. And things like dentals, colonoscopies and such, can cause release of nasty bacteria into your system and if it lodges in your heart or whatever, it’s not good. So vanco is powerful.

However when they gave it to me, within a few moments, the top of my head started burning. The burning continued down my head, neck and to my chest. I turned beet red, serious. Mom and dad could actually see it happening. It burned, I got dizzy, and my heart started palpitating. So...they determined I was allergic to it and I’ve never had it since. :| However, you can also have what they call "Redman Syndrome" when vancomycin is injected or administered too fast.

So I’m thinking it’s a good idea she’s monitored at first. They don’t need to find this out once she’s home.

Won’t know until Monday the outcome of this 3-day trial and then the doctor will decide if she gets 1 or 2 treatments/day or any at all, if she can’t tolerate.

Her cast comes off tomorrow.
