Hi All:
Well I apologize to all for not updating the blog sooner. We have had our own issues in Chicago as Lane is not in the hospital. While I was in Detroit, Lane had an eczema infection and was taking antibiotics. Then on Tuesday his eyes swelled up. And on Wednesday his whole face swelled up. After visiting 2 docs and the ER, we determined that his kidneys were spilling protein, which was causing the swelling. So, he is in the hospital to figure out why it is happening and how to treat it. We think the kidney issue was triggered from the infection and the treatment will be a diuretic and low sodium diet or possibly a steroid. The good news is this is hopefully not a re-occuring thing.
So now to my mom. Mom had an MRI yesterday to check the progress of reducing the swelling in her brain. We are waiting for the results of this. In addition, they are giving her blood thinners and her blood is too thin, so they are working to regulate here blood. Otherwise, she will be going home for rehab. Will update as soon as I speak to the doc.
