As if she has not had enough to deal with, Jana has spent two out of the last three days in the ER. First day, dr was a jerk. Sent her home with the diagnosis of stomach virus and bladder infection---I explained she always has bacteria in bladder---we've done the route with doctors for years---he wouldn't listen. Sent her home with 500 mg of Cipro 1X a day---5 days total.
She slept all day yesterday with fever and explosive stomach. Today she tried to go to work. Worked 1/2 day and was sent home. Back to the ER. ER doctor today was great. Did blood work, stool sample---(We were there 2 hours, she went to the bathroom 8 times.) Filled her with fluid. He doubled the Cipro---told her to take Immodium after every movement up to 6X a day, and to call him if she gets any worse.
If she is not better on Sunday she has to have a CTScan done with contrast. We have the contrast, but ER Dr. doesn't want to radiate if we don't have to.
She is having horrible pain in her abdomen. I pressed on her stomach and she cried for five minutes---not like her at all to cry.
Please send out some good thoughts that she gets better soon.
