My Sissy has PLE and has never been on steroids. The only thing the steriods do is help with inflammation - they do not heal anything. In order to get him well, his intestinal system needs healing. If you consult with Susan (and Dr. Gordon, which I'm sure will be insisted upon) they will start him on an appropriate diet (which will mostly likely NOT be Z/D) along with supplements that will strengthen him. Please do not give up...... |
Thanks so much Jodi for coming to help her
You are the best
This little one has ct also which scared me about putting a scope down him with this going on as I also think she has enough info to treat as well
I Hope he is ok as have not seen any posts but maybe she is giving him hugs and kisses at the hospital
J - what hospital was Vicky at - was it in texas too? Is it the same one he is at?
I am going to have Ann switch title to PLE/LYMPHANGIECTASIA
I remember the plasma worked better than the hetastarch for Jill and plasma saved dex life but they had to sedate to give dex plasma through jugular - did they do the same for Jill? They wanted dex to have fluids through jugular too as he almost died and they felt it was the fastest way to get toxins out of his body - I just said do whatever treat him as if he was your own dog and had to trust back then as i had no clue about all this stuff
