 HI Friends, Dustin got to come home this afternoon. They changed some of the strengths of his Procardia and Clonidine and added Lisinopril back besides the other bp meds , migraine preventives and seizure meds. I think this was a wake up call for the Dr's. Numerous times you have heard me all say Dustin takes his meds well now the Dr's finally seen no matter what they gave D they had a Hell of a time getting it to come down. Worst case scenerio the Dr said was to take his kidneys out!!!!!! Thank you for all your concerns and prayers!!!!! My baby is home  !!!!!!! Have a great evening friends! Lori/Indiana

So glad he is home. Maybe now the doctors will listen and know that Dustin is responsible and takes his meds when he should. Take a deep breath and enjoy being under one roof again.  |

Oh boy, how happy can you get? There is no word to describe it. Us mothers are only happy when our
children are well and happy. Take good care of him and yourself, too.
Love, Mimi
