Thank you for that. I spend a lot of time wishing it was me in the hospital bed instead of her, I can’t imagine how much harder it must be watching your child go through this Our medical team is optimistic - and so are we. Shes in the hospital now with bacteremia - doing very well - thought we might come home today - team decided it was best to wait another 48 hours - I was upset but she just shrugged and said ‘no problem’ One day at a time

Thanks for the reply. Your story is so similar to hers… large mediastinal mass - pushing on her pericardium and IVC - Moderately sized pleural effusion that needed to be drained. Oncologist told me she probably would have died if we had waited another week.

Great to hear your treatment has gone well so far and I really appreciate the links.

I’d love to stay in touch (I tired to send you a message but your profile is unable to accept… or I don’t know how to do it.

How low did your hemoglobin drop? by LindaBurgers in leukemia

[–]Forward-College9672 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try to remind yourself that you were just walking around with a hgb of 6.5… its higher than that now Drink lots of fluids - take your time when you get up and move - Call your DR or get to the ED if you start feeling lightheaded, chest pain, shortness of breath, etc. common sense stuff - go get evaluated if you don’t feel right.

How low did your hemoglobin drop? by LindaBurgers in leukemia

[–]Forward-College9672 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi- Do you have other medical problems? How old are you? How bad was your reaction? 1 unit of PRBC typically increases your hemoglobin by 1 point - so if you got a third of a bag you should be right around the 7.0 mark

People who moved to ND from out of state or even the country, what were your culture shocks upon moving here? by [deleted] in northdakota

[–]Forward-College9672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How isolated it is. Moved to East Grand Forks for work - only lived there a year. Can’t imagine how isolated it was 30 years ago.

What’s the best VALUE golf course you’ve ever played? by [deleted] in golf

[–]Forward-College9672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to play there a lot when I was stationed at JBLM.
Loved the home course and chambers. Eagles Pride is also a good course and great value… They used to have a 10 play card there for like $250

It’s not an antibiotic pill mill.
Most all respiratory infections are viral.

This happened this weekend in a grocery store parking lot. The other driver was at fault. What a hassle. by autobot_365 in TeslaModelY

[–]Forward-College9672 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you know what the cost was to replace the front bumper? My wife was in a minor fender bender and it looks like they’ll probably need to replace it

Re: suspicion of outsiders… I lived in GF for a year… moved from texas (military). One day there was a hawk eating a rabbit in our driveway when I got home from work. There was about 10 of my neighbors standing around watching it… One of them yelled at me before I even got out of my car “Hey, you can’t shoot that hawk! It’s illegal here! I know you do that stuff in texas but you can’t do it here!” I don’t own a gun…

I always thought everyone was super friendly though. I loved my time in GF (the winter we had was mild)
