Hi all... I'm the sister who, as it turns out, does NOT have an infection at my port...I went into my surgeon the following monday (2 days later).. there is no infection at my port. He says ER doc's just don't know anything about banding and make assumptions... so I was put on a high dose of antibiotics for nothing.... Dr. Boorse suggested giving it a week or so to see how it goes as it may have been viral (green poop). As of this writing (10 days later from ER visit), I am in my 4th day of almost no pain so I guess he was right.....
Ramona: Robin suffered from Idiopathic Bronchial Stenosis.... Idiopathic = unknown origin Bronchial = Bronchial tubes Stenosis = Narrowing....
so all, that means her breathing tubes were slowly growing shut and there was no known source and no known cure... In fact, she was one of 5 people worldwide (at the time anyway) who had this problem. She was in a coma for 4 weeks before they transferred her to Philadelphia where she was overdosed with Ativan, which culminated in her brain dead state.
and yes all.. I HAVE SOME CLOTHES!! I just have to get my act together and get them posted... but i'll have anywhere from size 20 - 28...... that much i can tell you now... I'll get myself in gear soon I promise.... hopefully this weekend.... :)
