I hope that the medics get this under control for you soon. It must be ghastly.
We miss your sassy self too :-)

I’m in the ER. Hoping for answers here.

Im being admitted. Have them stumped. Possible pneumonia in my right lung, more fluid in the left. Had a chill attack and they all thought I went septic. Warmed up and everything back to normal. Waiting on blood cultures. Not happy about this but need answers. Beyond exhausted.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Kristi,
I hope you feel better soon and they figure out what is going on. Mysteries of this kind are frustrating. Hang in there.

Try eating some Greek yogurt, little bites, it's good for the gut and easy on the tummy. Try to stay hydrated and concentrate on eating small amounts of food for now. Listen to your body, track what's making your vomit, and I wish you a positive outcome.

Kristi, thank you so much for staying in touch with us. Again, I so admire your tenacity in seeking medical care to learn what the hell is going on with your body. I know you WILL find out. And it WILL get fixed!

Sending so many hugs to you!

Hopefully a stay in the hospital will get you sorted quickly. Try and rest while you are there and let them take care of you. x

Omgoodness Kristi! I hope you are feeling better!!!

How are you doing Kristi?

[Kristi7928]

I’m doing a lot better today. First day in over a month I have not been nauseous. They tried a new nausea med last night after I started dry heaving my supper last night. Yesterday, was a bad day for nausea.

I finally got a diagnosis - blood infection from the fluid leaking from my lungs from pneumonia. If my plastic surgeon didn’t order the cat scan when he did I don’t know where I’d be. Blood infections are very scary. They had me on the right two antibiotics from the time I was in the ER so once the blood cultures came back the infection was already clearing up. It is scary when doctors don’t know and they tell you you are very sick on paper.

My hemoglobin got down to 7.9, but today it was 8.5. Still very low but it is climbing.

Hoping to leave tomorrow, but if they want me here longer I’ll stay. I don’t want to come back because I left too soon.

Sweet pea, this is better news than I thought we were going to get -- once they have a pinpoint diagnosis, they can get ou back to a normal balance and you can have your life back. Prayers continue! MOM

Hi Kristi

Hope you are starting to feel a bit better. At least the doc know what to treat now.
Lots of good wishes coming you way.

Kia Kaha

Kristi,
I am so glad to hear you are doing better! It’s a battle but once the drs get to the bottom of it things can get better. Stay well, and thanks for keeping us in the loop.
