Each year, I post something about the ARDS Foundation annual walk at the beautiful Chicago Botanic Garden, August 13, 2005 beginning at 7:30 AM. I wanted to post the info again, invite any nurses who might like to attend as our guests. This year we ...

Curious what you think... Last week I was hospitalized because my HGB was 5.5 (I felt like crap for the last six months, and pretty close to crap for a year) After repeat bood work, they said the neutrophils were 6. (in fact, almost everything was ...

Thank you for the good wishes! My hemoglobin is holding steady at 11.6. The differential is normal. I will get there. I should have stated that the note was quite explicit. It mentioned Neutropenic, mask, gloves, and also stated that anyone who ha...

I understand different schools of thought. That was not my beef. My concern was that obviously my docs felt that these precautions were necessary, and in so doing, they posted a huge sign on my door. The fact that for whatever reason they thought ...

Paula Blonski's sister, Marybeth Monaghen, was a dedicated nurse, who did not work in an ICU and knew little about ARDS. In 1988, when she had to have an ovary removed, she looked at it as though it was minor surgery. But her wound would not heal.....

illinois nurses invited (and northern wisc. nurses, too) and in fact, anyone who might be in the area who would want to attend... the ards foundation is hosting it's second "march for miracles" benefit at the chicago botanic gardens. we would like t...

I don't know what state you live in but like what was previously said, you can look it up online... for instance, in IL, if you look up the IDPR, and then look up RN, you find options to look from: http://www.ildpr.com/WHO/nurs.asp Then the relevan...

I am not a nurse, but I am a big time migraine sufferer. Have had them for over twenty years and have tried every preventative known to neurologists... I stopped for a while, but have been on Topomax 100 mg, for a while, and am not sure if it reall...

Maybe you could just print out that article... and leave it there for them to see, instead of getting into it with them. (unless it has already become an issue) It was written for doctors, and this doctor/lawyer... :stone can obviously comprehend ...

I am an attorney, but this is not my area of law; that being said, this did not sound proper or ethical to me as presented. I do know that a doctor can refuse to take on a patient, if for instant they might believe the patient was manipulative or dr...

Thanks for all of the info... I guess I secretly wanted to know if you guys, nurses, would go... knowing what you know about this virus, given that you were planning a trip out of town! I just did not know enough about it. Someone to made my decis...

Wondering you opinion if you were in this situation... I am going out of town with my daughters on Thursday My niece was hospitalized for a day and a half for dehydration related to rotavirus. Her brother also is getting over it. And the baby (wel...

I don't know that they will have the evening if they are outwardly sick, but I don't know how long this can be passed... it will be four days from now. Her kids are two, four (the one who got out of the hospital last evening) and seven. My kids ar...

We have so many women on our site who have gotten ARDS in such similar circumstances; I receive so many phone calls or posts on our message board from husbands, parents and most of the stories that are posted on our site are the ones with favorable o...

Thanks; Dee, who did much of the work on the quilt, is an ARDS survivor herself. She is a college professor for a small college in Saginaw, Michigan (think of the Simon and Garfunkle tune) and after she had ARDS, she went home on oxygen for about a ...

I hope that this was a good place to post this; I know that nurses who are in the MICU, CCU, and SICU would be familiar with this but from what I hear from some nurses, who are ARDS survivors, they say that they had never heard of ARDS before, or if ...

sorry, obviously, it is March 9, 2004! :imbar Two kids who want dinner and I am trying to do too much at once... been there before???

undefined Hey, all you Chicago area nurses! I am not a nurse, but an ARDS survivor who lives in Chicago, was at Lutheran General for nine weeks, and now am President of the ARDS Foundation. We are having a fundraiser on March 9th, 2003, and we kno...

I just saw a segment on one of the AM shows; they profiled a doctor, married to a doctor, who had an elective C-section. They said that it was convenient for their lifestyle. Others complained about the issue of incontinence as their reason for gett...
