The C-diff lab results are in and it is
NEGATIVE!
Whew...we dodged that bullet. Mom was a bit upset at first because she liked the 'idea' of having a diagnosis and a medication that could make her better.....until I told her that once you contract C-diff you are more likely to get it again...and again....then she changed her mind a bit.
We feel like we narrowed this whole incident down to milk...
even though Mom was taking her Lactaid pills whenever she ate dairy products.
I think we will just stay away from dairy for awhile....
The plan?...Mom will start the BRAT diet tomorrow (minus the banana part)...
so toast, crackers, applesauce, hot tea...that sort of stuff.
Plus, she hasn't had any anti-nausea medications all day which is an improvement...
I doubt she comes home tomorrow but you never know...maybe if she tolerates her breakfast and lunch we could be surprised with a discharge...but more likely it will be Tuesday.
