Mom felt much better this morning. As the day goes on she tires. Dr. agreed to put her back on the vancomycin. So hopefully this will take care of it and will be easier to get her off when the time comes. He wants her to stay on it for 2 weeks and then gradually decrease again.

I'm glad she got back on vanc - hopefully she won't have to be on it very long! And I'm really glad she felt better today!

I tried to call the GI Dr. again. I don't know what to do.......I'm not a Dr or nurse. Just about everytime Mom gets up....she fills her pants/diaper. I'm so tired of it and so is she. This goes on 3-6 times a day. I'm making sure she drinks plenty of fluid so she doesn't get dehydrated, but I don't know how much longer I can take this part of it. This is the only part that gets to me real bad. Other than this....she's been feeling decent as long as she doesn't overdo it.

Can she eat yogurt? It has to be yogurt with live cultures. It might not help but it is worth a try because it might. Gary had diarrhea for 5 months and we finally got it stopped with yogurt. It's worth a try anyway.

Mother doesn't like yogurt. She won't even try any kind of it. So...since having her back on the vanco, she's doing a little better. Also...her BP has gone up to around 130 to 140...just like the Dr. wanted.
