We were told that the minimum stay at the hospital was 5 days and that we should plan on 5 to 7, sometimes 10 days.
EC was admitted Monday 5 pm.
She was told today that she will be discharged tomorrow evening. She is doing VERY well – responding to the adjustments in medication extremely well – there had been side effects from receiving too much of both meds. They cut her dose of one to about 1/6th, the other to about ¼ of what she’d been receiving. The meds had been helping, but the help was being sabotaged by the side effects. I theorize that the bioidentical progesterone therapy was actually working, but it was being covered up by these side effects. Now that the dosing has been adjusted, it is evident that the progesterone therapy and thyroid therapy is working well.
Behaviorally the Dr. said she needs to eat three normal meals a day plus 3 Ensure protein drinks plus a couple Gatorades daily to rebuild her strength and stamina and she should be OK. And she’s been getting coaching about how to respond to stressors in ways other than allowing anxiety to rule her life.
She sounded so happy on the phone today.

This is an update for those who have expressed concern about ElenaClaire. Yesterday she was admitted to Kingwood Pines Hospital. We expect that she will be there for 5-10 days. We have great confidence that this was the right step and our anticipation is that she will begin an accelerated move towards greater health. I'll keep you updated as there is news to report.
