We had a scheduled routine visit and because Johnny had
had really really bad bloating that included intense pain the day and night before (Sunday) we
stopped Dr. Wang’s to talk to the nurse about and to show them the bit of rash.
After she consulted with the PA and Dr. we were sent onto the ER (at noon) as
that is where they can do test and check out the symptoms to get to the reasons
and solutions.
Blood test, urine test, hooked up to IV fluids, Xray, CT
scan with and without contrast the ER Dr. determined it was prolly gas due to
some unknown reason; but there was no blockage and wrote a prescription for a
pill that would “move things on” LoL and we were released to go home at 3:30
am. Yes nearly a 24 hours of fun boredom and two days to get over the exhaustion
one gets from so much time in the ER.
Now with that all said one of the nurses that we first
saw, thought the rash looked a little yeasty, which happens when one has suppressed
immune and been on preventive antibiotics (3 x a week) for six months. So being
the healer that I am, I picked up some yogurt and said here eat this and I
slathered some on the rash. The rash is better, and the bloating is a known
side effect of the Dex hence the terrible stuff happening on Sundays (Dex is on
Saturday).
And now we believe we have a handle on it and can treat
the symptoms on our own. Lol only one more Saturday of Dex for this round anyway.
Then we will see Dr. Wang in a few weeks to determine what’s next.
Thanks for y’alls continued prayers they mean so much to
us
