That or any number of things could cause failure of kidney functions. http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/05/08/pjern_update_not_good_please_keep_in_tho#c486467 Fri, 08 May 2009 17:04:09 +0000 c486470@http://metachat.org Shit. Wait, didn't he just have a spider bite? How does that turn into renal failure. Did I miss something? Many times people confuse a skin staph infection with a spider bite. Maybe pjern actually did see a spider bite him and maybe that caused an infection. There is a big possibility that he assumed it was a spider bite, but actually had MRSA. If he has a staph infection, and now is in renal failure, I'll assume that he has sepsis. Acute renal failure can be reversed. /not a doctor... only speculating... I wish pjern good health and recovery.

LoriFLA, there was no spider seen, so you may be right when you speculated it wasn't even a bit at all. I think it happened overnight? He woke up in Laredo on the morning of the 26th with it, and when he attended the ER in Fort Worth the D.O. he saw said it was most likely a sider bite & sent him on his way home with Motrin. So who knows, the spiders might be innocent?

Talked to pjern this afternoon. In fact, he did nearly go into renal failure. But they were able to stabilize him. They removed a mass "the size of a softball". He's not feeling much pain right now and he's on the road to recovery. He'll probably be there for a few more days, but the wound is bleeding, which is apparently a good thing (it means the systems are working). He sends everyone his love and thanks you all for the well wishes.

I'm very curious now whether it was indeed a spider bite, or not... http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/05/08/pjern_update_not_good_please_keep_in_tho#c486767 Sun, 10 May 2009 13:36:03 +0000 c486785@http://metachat.org This just in: pjern's daughter said she saw him on Friday night and he was up and normal, though in pain. renal system is fine. She said she had a really fun time with him. YAY!
YAY!]]> http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/05/08/pjern_update_not_good_please_keep_in_tho#c486785 Sun, 10 May 2009 14:42:48 +0000 c486793@http://metachat.org Oh so happy about this! Keep it up, pjern! http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/05/08/pjern_update_not_good_please_keep_in_tho#c486793 Sun, 10 May 2009 15:39:13 +0000 c486800@http://metachat.org I'll message his daughtr when I get back from the library but does anyone know if he'll be at the hospital for a bit? MeFi would like to send him flowers if he's cooped up for a while. Maybe we should put together a Get Well Flickr set? Unless he wants to be a little more private about this? http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/05/08/pjern_update_not_good_please_keep_in_tho#c486800 Sun, 10 May 2009 16:11:07 +0000 c486807@http://metachat.org Yay for pjern!
