April - May 2009

Tim developed an allergic reaction to the IV antibiotics he was on - Vancomycin and ______.
He broke out all over in a red rash - and it is nicknamed "red man". He broke out about April 10, 2009. It is now the middle of May - and he is still trying to "kick" the rash. He is always cold - and wears several layers of clothes to stay warm. I tease him that the rash is a Heat Rash.......
We returned to cleveland for a check-up on April 21. All was going fine other than his rash. He had a pacemaker check - good; and an Echo done - fine!
We return to Cleveland on May 18/19 for another check up and to have the clot filter removed.
He has lost lots of weight and stays rather thin. I hope to get him eating more....
More appointments and follow-ups in June.......
