GYOFBFW update. So things seem quite a bit better (said with fingers crossed). New update.
→[More:]Rosemary has been seen by 2 doctors in ER and 2 acute care specialists along with a host of others including Infectious Disease, Renal, Endocrinology, Hematology, Cardiology, Oncology, and maybe some I am forgetting.
Until all the cultures set can mature toward the end of the week and absent any other information the Endocrinologist's argument now seems to be in the lead. She is sure that this was a severe drug response. Rosemary's Metformin was, 3 weeks ago, changed to Janumet (Metformin with Sitagliptin).
This was even worse than I thought it was when I took her in. Everyone looking at her file has repeated the same; "people with numbers like this just don't live through it. This is truly amazing." At 7 PM Rosemary was moved out of the acute care unit.
It's not a sure thing but it looks like she will recover fully and do so with little or no deficits. I am grateful to the staff who cared for her and this is one of those times I am SO happy to live in a place with single payer public health care. And thank you all again. Your support means more than I can relate to you.
