So, some of you know, and other's do not. My niece Alexandra has been quiet ill. We know some of the problem, but not the underlying cause(s).
She has been on (and off) some medications for the last 4 weeks. What the Dr. was thinking is that we know what is going on, but lets try the least evasion, most common cure for that problem FIRST and then get into the other, more evasive shit.
Well, tomorrow she goes in to tell him that the medication has not work, and therefore I have labeled tomorrow as "D" day. Solely because we don't know what happens next, and I have to admit I am going crazy wondering what is going to happen next. My mind is racing in all kinds of directions, and then I think :
1. I am not the patient, nor the parent for Christ's sake...
2. GET OFF THE INTERNET and stop drying to investigate the "causes"
3. Are you making it worse by constantly asking "how was the test today..."
4. SHE IS ONLY 15
Then, I calm myself down, and say that I have all the confidence in Lexi's (nickname) Dr. He is the CHIEF pediatric Nephrologist in the area, so other than Dr. House he is the man we want on our team.
I will learn something by 2-ish, so I will be sitting by the phone and I will let all my dedicated readers (all 2 of you) know as soon as I do.
Also, please try thinking that "positive postulates can work miracles" because we really need one!

How did that go for her?
Amygirl45.
Thanks for asking. As it stands right now, we still do not know anything. They are weening her off her meds in the hopes that they have worked. During this time, she will continue to check her protein levels and if they go back up, she will have to have the kidney biospy.
I will keep you posted. Esp. now that I have my computer back
