The latest news on Robyn May 2006

[StevieM]

Hi all style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

As Robyn has changed school, medications and tried to break her neck( no not a figure of speech) since the last time I posted, she has agreed that an update would be nice style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

So here goes, Robyn has now been on Cellcept for 6 weeks with no noticable side effects style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/woohoo.gif and she is managing the 2 weekly blood tests very well. The only down side other than the blood tests is the amount of bugs she catches....but even they are becoming less of a problem as she seems to be fighting them off better.

Robyn is now attending our local senior school and up untill 2 weeks ago her attendance had been really good and she has been doing very well with her class work ( she has actually complained that its too easy) !!

So what happened 2 weeks ago....you may well ask. Going through the front door Robyn tripped and fell, at the time no major damage seemed to have been done and so she went to bed. Next morning unable to move her head, we thought it a good idea to go to the hospital......they thought she may have sprained her neck, and so gave her pain killers and waited!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif several hours later she was sent for x-rays and soon after found herself stapped to a back board and in a head brace as they suspected a broken neck style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/faint.gif After a 24 hr stay in hospital it was decided that she had not broken her neck but had torn a ligament, and was sent home with a collar and instructions to rest............. unfortunatly she was also sent home with a nasty chest infection ( aren't hospital wards grand ) and has been off school ever since.

Robyn is now feeling much better, just in time for half term, and will be returning to school after the hols style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bigsmile.gif

Love from Robyn and Stevie

It sure is good to hear from you and have an update as to what is going on.

I am glad that the cellcept is doing alright with no side effects, sorry to hear that you are getting alot of bugs.

It sounds like you have had fun NOT........... I am sorry to hear that you had a bad fall and then followed by another stay in hospital, it is good to hear that nothing too serious happened.

Look after yourself Robyn and i hope you enjoy school when you go back after the hols.

I'm so glad you are doing better...Seems like you go in a hospital with one thing and come out with more!!! My mother fell years ago and we rushed her to the hospital where we sat there for 5 hours before they would see her. They said nothing was broken but mama couldn't walk!!! I BEGGED them to keep her overnight but they wouldn't. We took her back home and my hubby had to practically pick her up and put her on the porch and into the house and into bed. The next day, her doctor called and said she had 2 pelvic bones fractured so they sent her to Piedmont Hospital by ambulance for a week(50 miles from her house). Last time she was in the hospital with gout, she came home with a staph infection and she had to get vancomycin by IV every day for 6 weeks(7 days a week times 6 weeks)..

I hope you can be up and around in no time and enjoy what holidays you have left..School starts here August 1st, summer just started seems like.

Stay safe and watch that first step!!!</span></span>
