Another update on Tiffany:

Tiffany was hospitalized this morning.  Her BP is in the 170's and she has a bacterial infection.  She can't keep anything down and is having severe headaches.  She will be at Children's through the week and will dialyze every day.

DAMN IT!

Just good thoughts for both the girls and Kim.  I think I am meeting up with Katherine this weekend.  She has a basket for the girls.  You available?  I would love to see you too!

Karol and Vandie, Saturday works best for me as I have the gym on Sunday. I even have some small things for their Mama.  Got to go get gift bags today.

Tiffany got to come home today.   WOOHOO!!

Thank you Kit, for the goody bags.  My trunk is full of gifts for the girls and their mom, and I can't wait to drop all of it off to them this week.

Thank you all for the prayers and positive thoughts.  This place has always been and continues to be a positive light.

Much love to you all.

The red and blue bags were for the girls.
The little bag is for Mama
The Hallmark bag is the DVD player and headphones for the family.

Tiffany is back in ICU.  She had a seizure on Monday because her BP has been so out of control.

It is recognized that stress is a trigger for Lupus flare-ups, particularly in adolescence after the onset of puberty. My first kidney failure was at 17 and a half years old and this happened after a build-up over several years of great stress. Similarly stress preceded many flare-ups including the current kidney failure I am now suffering (I was very lucky to regain some kidney function after my first kidney failure). Of course, there are other reasons which might cause a Lupus-flare (e.g. medicines) so it is always difficult to identify the cause of a flare-up, but stress is definitely a major trigger, and as kidney failure is one of the major Achilles Heels of Lupus sufferers, stress is something we must think about. How to avoids stress in this day and age is almost impossible to figure out but if one can find ways of avoiding stress it is obviously beneficial. Like everyone else, I too, feel very sad to read the story of this unfortunate family and I wish them all the best.

Tiffany was able to go home today.  They think they found a BP patch that is working. . . crossing fingers

Thank you all for the good wishes.  I know Kim and the girls appreciate you as much as I do.
