UPDATE ON MUM
13/04/2007 by Ted.
EVENING OF 13TH APRIL 2007. TODAY THE DOCTOR VISITED MUM WITH THE RESULTS OF THE LATEST BLOOD TEST AND, BECAUSE OF THE DEGREE OF KIDNEY FAILURE WHICH WAS REVEALED BY THE TEST, SHE HAS DISCONTINUED MUM’S PRESCRIPTIONS OF DIGOXIN AND IRBESARTEN. THE DIGOXIN WAS DISCONTINUED BECAUSE IT COULD NOW INTRODUCE TOXINS INTO MUM’S SYSTEM. IT’S PURPOSE WAS TO INCREASE THE STRENGTH AND VIGOUR OF HER HEART MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS. THE FUNCTION OF THE IRBESARTEN WAS TO DILATE THE VEINS AND ARTERIES TO ALLOW BLOOD TO FLOW MORE EASILY IN RESPONSE TO THE HEART’S CONTRACTIONS. HOWEVER SHE IS STILL BEING PRESCRIBED ISOSORBIDE MONONITRATE WHICH SERVES THE SAME FUNCTION AS THE IBERSARTEN.
IT MEANS THAT, AS MUM HERSELF SAID, SHE IS NOT GETTING ANY BETTER.
IN HERSELF SHE IS OK. AS A RESULT OF THE REIMPOSED DOSE OF FURESOMIDE SHE IS AGAIN SLEEPY AND LETHARGIC AND DOZES THE DAY AWAY. SHE IS HAPPY WITH THIS. SHE IS ALSO SLEEPING WELL AT NIGHT WITHOUT THE AID OF ORAMORPH - SHE JUST HAS THE TWO SEDATIVE PILLS WHEN SHE GETS INTO BED.
TONIGHT SHE SENDS HER LOVE TO YOU ALL AS USUAL,
ME TOO,
TED.
