11/9/08- Update

Ashlyne had a good night and was able to get sleep despite the prednisone at 10:00pm. Dr Attard came in this morning. Ashlyne's pain has improved dramatically at examination, she is responding fine to liquid supplements. Dr Attard believes she will be released tomorrow after Dr Zapata examines her. We will do as follows:
60% liquid elemental supplemental
40% high fat, high protein, no fiber diet (solid food)
in about 4 weeks return for ultrasound comparision and sympton comparison
Keep 6mp at 50mg a day
Keep prednisone at 40mg a day
Stay on flagyl and then another antibiotic
Other meds remain the same
weekly liver tox, cbc and sed rates checks thru blood tests

The diet will be a challenge for Ashlyne in total with the liquid supplement she needs to intake 55-60 ounces of fluids and will only have about 830 calories in actual food.

Thank you for your prayers.

Wendy
