Back Pain is Back

The EEG/video machine was removed yesterday. The neurologist has her on three anti seizure medicines. He plans to play around with the dosage of these the next few weeks to find what works best. He doesn’t know why she had seizures. Thinks the big one she had last week may have been caused by abruptly stopping the Lyrica.


Rebecca has eaten very little in the last 10 days. She went a little over 24 hours without having diarrhea. She had a yogurt and two hours later had diarrhea. They are going to quit the IV antibiotic and switch to a oral one. Maybe that will be better but I think it will be best when she quits taking it altogether. She is also having stomach pain.

The back pain came back last night. She has had some today also. She wanted to start back on the oxycodone. They first gave her Tylenol. That didn’t do much. They are going to try Lortab now. Since she has not had any oxycodone in 10 days it would be a good time to quit that. She has been taking a high dose of that for over a year.

The plan is to get out of here on Friday.
