A Touch of Thanksgiving

Good news! I am feeling better. I still have to spend a lot of time in the bathroom but it is becoming an exceptable amount. I really think the prednisone is working so I hope that means I wont have to try a glution free diet. I am still trying to stay away from milk, chili powder, and heavy tomato products however, I did have some bbq'd sauce and had no problems. I am so thankful that God has gotten me this far and I know he will continue to bless us. I know there will be other hard times to come but I will appreciate right now while I have it!

Behind As Always

The last c-diff test came back negative. The doc decided to perscribe this powder stuff to help thicken my stools up. It took forever to get it because of insurance and pharmacy issues. I finally got it last Thursday and got down about half a dose. It made me feel horrible that night. I felt like I always had to go to the bathroom. I ended up being able to see the doc on Monday. He ran several test including one for vre. It hasn't came back yet but the blood work came back showing inflamation that is most likely due to pochitis. He perscribed pednisone so maybe that will help. He is also worried about glution causing problems so he is checking for that to, I am praying it comes back negative.

Here We go again....

We got drew feeling better. As for me the vanco helped for awhile then I had to go back on Cipro. that then helped until about Friday when things started to crash once again. I got in to see the doc this morning. I am thinking it is c diff again. He did a stool sample and gave me a script for more vanco if it comes back positive. I should know more tomorrow.
