Yup, it's C-Diff

Million$$Baby · July 2009

I think the universe is just using me now for it's own entertainment. Seriously. I spoke to my MFM this morning (who treated me for it the first time) and he sent me to the ER for fluids and tests. They got me back on the medication I took the first time (vanco) so hopefully those will clear it up very quickly. I obviously need to stay away from the babies until my symptoms are gone, and I'm extra sad because tomorrow is their one month birthday and I really wanted to be there with them

Ugh - I'm sorry to hear that! I hope that with the meds you are able to get it cleared up quickly!

UGH!!! I am so sorry sweetie! that really stinks...

But OMG YAY for their one month:) That's amazing Brooke! I pray for them all the time and they look so good! Happy month-birthday million$$babies:)

I can't believe it's been a month already! You and DH are doing such a good job and staying strong for your little ones!

I'm so sorry Brooke

A little unsolicited advice... have your docs talked to you about probiotics at all? Jack had to be on vancomyacin for sepsis when he was an infant and it DESTROYED his stomach... it kills all the bacteria (which is completely the point with your c-diff) but it kills all the good stuff too... I know that once they introduced the probiotics Jack's tummy got a lot better. Just a thought if you are having bad side effects from the meds..

Hugs to you.. I'm so sorry you have to go through this and that you have to be away from your precious little ones.

I'm so sorry. I've heard that C-Diff can be such a pain in the butt to get rid of. I can't imagine how hard it must be for you not to see your babies. (((BIG HUGS)))

I'm so sorry...

na24 · July 2009

That sucks donkey balls. ?I'm so sorry. ?

Maybe this bad development with you means that something good will happen with the babies to even it out. ?The universe owes you one. ?

Thanks - I am actually on probiotics. I took them the entire time I was on Vanco last time (35 days, I think) and I tried to take them once I got off the vanco but honestly wasn't that religious about it. I'm taking them again now though. I hope they help!

tnkrbl21 · July 2009

oh goodness i am so so sorry. I wish the universe would just give you a break! I can't believe that your babies are a month old already - they are doing amazing. I hope you get well very very soon.
