so yesterday when i called dannette i left her a message and explained how i felt awful and needed to start IVs etc. well, it was a good 6 hours before i heard back from her (which is very unlike her) and all she said was. "do you want to do doripenem again?" and i said "yes ma'am" and she said "ok ill talk to the dr and call you back." that was at 3:30, and i never heard from her again. however, the homehealth people called and said that i would be on 2 grams and they were delivering it. so thats to bring you guys up to speed. and remember how in my last post i was anxious about being on 2 grams because it was going to take over 3 hours to deliver and i just knew mom and i were going to have a rough next 2 weeks. well last night we just were very apprehensive about the 2 grams, and the fact we never talked to anyone from the dr office. it just didn't make any sense to us. and we had the gut feeling that the order was wrong. so mom decided she was just going to play it safe and only give me 1 gram in the evening and this morning and give dannette a call today to make sure everything was correct. giving me 1 gram those two times wasn't going to hurt me, obviously, i have taken 1 gram in the past. but just to be safe and not give me 2 grams in case that was wrong because it could hurt me. so this morning after many phone calls mom finally spoke with the homehealth people (who we love and they know us so well, which is wonderful) and the girl there said 2 grams was wrong. that i was too small to get that amount, and it was a good thing mom knew better than to give it to me without double checking. she talked to the cf team and the order was made wrong, and was changed back to 1 gram. thankfully. now it will only take a little over an hour and half to dispense. this is great news. and im so thankful that mom had the knowledge not to give me the 2 grams. we dont think it would've hurt me like immediately. but it could've hurt my kidney function.
today has been rough. im better now. but this morning was a rough ride. i woke up feeling awful. i ate breakfast and layed down on the couch and slept basically all morning. i felt better when i woke up. and my fever had broken. all the girls are coming tonight to watch the grey's anatomy/private practice premier!!!!! yay!!! im so glad i feel good enough for them to come.
i hopefully these abx will kick in soon!
until then,
