Wife UPDATE

She has asthma real bad and a slight, very slight case of pneumonia. The doctor told her to keep taking the cough medicine he gave her, as it is working. He cough is subsiding and the fever broke. She now has a new inhaler and started it today. Thanks for all the thoughts and well wishes. Oakie.

    We got Rita her cough meds to slow this awful cough and she got a whopping 7.5 hours of sleep Friday. Made a huge difference in how she feels.

    She felt good enough to go to Sunday School.

    I called the Dr Friday to see if she could get all testing done in one day and was told we have to make 2 trips to OKC this week and one next week. It has something to do with the dyes they use. The lady I spoke with was very nice and did not know it is a 3 hour drive for us. Just the 18 hours of drive time will wear her out big time, I am hoping she can sleep part of the time.

    Well I am off to find something to feed my girls when they get back from church.

    Will update when I know something.

    David.

    Well yesterday we went in for the heart cath. Dr wound up putting 2 stints in, had badly blocked arteries. Now we wait and see what happens in the next few months. We are hoping the heart heals up a bit and the rythym will then slow down close to normal.

    Wife was asked to participate in a clinical trial of some new med that is supposed to work like Plavix but faster. She said sure once they pointed out the meds would be paid for several months. That will give us time to find a way to pay for the meds she will be on for the next 2 years.

    Was a long and tiring day for her and then they suprised us by telling her she had to stay over night, they could have told us that any of the 4 times they called and asked the same questions with the same answers for the 4 different depts. But nope they tell us after they are done.

    Well anyway she is now home sleeping.

    Glad to hear she's stabilized and doin' alright.
    Keep a close eye on her with the experimental drug.
    It is just that, experimental, and may not suit all patients.
    If it's problematic, they'll put her on something already proven.

    I say this, because my granddad's cousin was put on an "experimental"
    cancer treatment by doctor. Yet the doctor did few follow-ups in
    the year he was on it. It actually hurt Uncle Wilmot, weakening
    him and allowing the cancer to spread. He was so weak, that the
    subsequent, traditional chemo killed him.

    Don't mean to be all gloom and doom. It'll probably help her just
    fine. But from someone who worked in pharma development, do keep
    an eye on her symptoms yourself and tell the doctor if anything
    seems wrong.

    Best wishes,
    Doc

    Most medical company's will let you get your medician at a discount pending a letter from your doctor. they did for my Mother. $100.00 precription cost her $15.00 per month. good luck. i hope she recovers very fast.

    I'm happy all is well after the procedure. The follow up cardiac rehab is just as important as the initial intervention. She will need encouragement, good luck to you both.

    Two years ago a fellow hunter was having difficulty walking a 100 yds to his deer watch. Shortly afterwards he had a similar procedure as your wife. Last year he was ready to start dogging again (only a slight exageration [:)]) Current medical procedures are indeed marvels. Your wife, and you, are at the beginning of a new day.
