UPDATE!

Well, when I saw my nephrologist on last Wednesday, she sent me straight to the hospital and I just got home a couple of hours ago.  I was in a massive flare and had to have 2 units of blood.  I was sooooo short of breath because my hemaglobin was really low.  I had several factors contributing.  I had bleeding ulcers, bone marrow suppression from the lupus and of course meds contributing.  Then I had hemmorhaged.  THey took off 25 pounds of fluid in 7 days!  Needless to say, I am a little weak.

I have to say, I received the most awesome care!  I was so impressed and pleased with the standard of care.  My kidney function dropped to 16%,  but it came back up to 34%, so we're just watching and waiting.  I am very thankful to be home.  I hope you all are doing well.  Love and prayers, Judy

((((((((((( Judy ))))))))) I hope you are feeling better soon. It sounds like you've had a rough time of it!! Keep us posted sis! Blessings!

I'm much better, except, I now how cellulitis in my left leg. Has anyone ever had this? It is painful. It feels like a sunburn. It is covering most of my left lower leg. I had to have a venous doppler yesterday to rule out dvt, thankfully, it isn't, now i'm on antibiotics. I'm soooo weak! Hope you all are well. Judy
