We are home now, we made it home last night at about 6pm. They prescribed Lasix, cipro (antibiotic), Nystatin for the thrush and nausea meds. His blood pressure and pulse are back to normal, so his body is getting back to normal. But he still feels like he has the flu. He has muscle aches, bone aches and pain in his mouth from the thrush. Compared to when he was in the hospital, he is doing better, but still feels like he has the flu. They say that just as fast as the symptoms come on, they will go away. It is true, except for some remaining flu like symptoms. His thrush is mostly gone, but now he has mouth sores. We are using salt water and baking soda combo recipe: 1 cup warm water, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/8 tsp salt, swish and spit. Unfortunately it tastes bad and it made him gag and vomit. So I think we will have to stop that.
He's developed wheezing tonight. I think I will need to call the doctor tomorrow. He's also been getting itchy skin. We have meds for that called gabapentin, hopefully they will work.
He has lost about 5 pounds of water weight, which is good. He took Lasix to take some of the water weight off that he put on. It's doing the trick.
Here is an older picture of us at our wedding, as you could probably tell since I'm wearing a wedding dress, lol. The other one is about 5 years ago, of Kevin on Lake Norman, NC, where we live. Just thought I'd share.
