Debbie is at St Luke's hospital.  She started feeling some abdominal pain last Thursday.  It got worse over the weekend, so she saw a doctor Monday.  The doctor was not our regular doctor and wasn't sure what her problem was, so she put Deb on an antibiotic.  Well, Debbie woke up in severe pain Wednesday morning and our daughter took her to the ER.  They found that she has severe diverticulitis and a UTI.  They now have her on an IV antibiotic and small shots of pain med.  She still has some pain but is doing much better.  Her white blood cell count was over 20K in ER and is dropping pretty steadily.  She will probably be in the hospital until Mon or Tues, possibly longer.I'm on a new medicine that makes me very groggy, so I can barely walk and definitely can't drive.  Our daughter has really stepped up and took her to the ER and spent the night with her.  She lives not far from the hospital so she will keep a close watch on her.  She writes down everything the doctors say because Debbie can't remember everything, or in the right sequence... partially due to the pain and partially due to the pain med.Other than that, we are doing fine.  Deb asked me to let KDC know since many members know her.  She has her cell phone with her. 4951

I'm so sorry she's in pain. Glad your dd can help her and be there. My mom had that but not the UTI. That diviculitis is painful. Can't eat anything with seeds like tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. Fruit or veggies with seeds will irritate the tummy. Prayers for a quick recovery. No resting in a hospital. 4951

Yes, what can we do for YOU? I'm willing to cook you up something or bring over a meal when Debbie gets home. (I just need to know any dietary restrictions - I know of the one.)@Fallon, please let me know if you arrange anything. 4951

@sweetie:  Debbie had diverticulitis once before several years ago.  The doctor gave her Flagel (sp?) and Debbie turned as red as a cooked lobster.  Apparently, she is allergic to that antibiotic, so we both know not to let a doctor give her that.

I appreciate all the offers to help.  Right know, we are doing OK.  If anything changes, I'll let you know.  My son is here, so he's helping me and the dogs.  My daughter made a grocery trip for us on Wednesday.  Thank you all! 4951
