UPDATE

More problems. The pain in her weak left arm has increased substantially. She has a pic line in her right arm so they take her blood pressure in the left. She now cries out in pain when they do this. Also the blood pressure reading in her left arm is sky high, but if they take it in her right arm its relatively normal. They keep increasing her blood pressure meds but it seems to me they aren't actively trying to find out why her b.p. is doing this and why the different readings in each arm.

The MRI on her head was unchanged from the one they did a week ago. We were hoping the lesions would be gone or at least less. They will do the MRI on her spine Monday. I wish they'd do one on her arm too and try to find out what's going on.

They are talking about sending her home one day next week possibly and I don't think she's anywhere near ready. Although they have her sitting upright in a chair for 30 min. twice a day now she is still not even close to being able to walk again, or even stand.

The only good news is her appetite was better today.

I'm just still so worried and discouraged. This pain in her arm has me so frightened. I'm at home tonight while DH stays with Laura so I can hopefully get a little break, but I can't stop worrying. I just feel all tied up in knots.

Thanks for listening.

BIG {{{HUGS}}} for you Liz. I will continue to keep Laura in my prayers (as well as you and your family). I understand your worries right now, but keep hope and faith that she will improve and will be ready to go home soon

 

[DopeyRN]

Liz you have my empathy...nothing is worse than a sick child. Prayers that Laura will turn that corner soon.

 

[bsnyder]

Still saying my prayers for Laura, and for you too, Liz. I know you must be exhausted, with lack of sleep and worry! Hopefully the doctors can figure this out soon, and get Laura well!

Thanks for taking the time to update us here on the DIS.

Many hugs and prayers for you all!

I'm still praying for your Laura, and you too Liz. Thanks for keeping us updated.

 

[MerryPoppins]

Thank you for the update! I'm so sorry that she is having such a hard time. I hope that the doctors get to the bottom of the problem and that she is feeling better soon.

I am glad to hear that she is eating better. That is an improvement and might help get her strength up a little. I'll keep praying. Hugs to all of you.

 

[Mamu]

Liz I know all to well that sick feeling inside, we see our children suffer and can do nothing to help. I can only pray for your family and hope the answers you are looking for will come soon and Laura is on her way to recovering from this nightmare. {{{HUGS}}} Liz to you, DH and special {{{HUGS}}} for Laura.

 

[kbeverina]

I've been thinking about you often and saying extra prayers for your daughter--I'm so sorry you've been going through this.

 

[luv2nascar]

continuing to pray for your daughter
I hope you aren't truly wore out but I'm sure you are
try not to get so run down that you end in the hospital also

 

[Kermit]

Your family is still in my prayers. I'm fervently praying that God will work a miracle in Laura's life and that she will soon be cured.

 

[Dream]

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and Laura, Liz.
