Less jerking

She was in good spirits when I visited this evening. The uncontrolled jerking of arms and legs is much reduced. They caught several jerking events during the EEG, but didn't see anything, which is good. They did find she had extremely low thyroid levels (not sure what that means), which could be the cause, and are increasing her Synthroid medication to deal with that. I still think her extreme lack of sleep may have been a factor. She said the Infectious Diseases doctor said her leg looks a little better, but it will be a long haul, will need the entire run of IV antibiotics before they will know what to do next. They're talking about a Thursday or Friday discharge to home. Still planning six weeks of (now two) IV antibiotics, administered after each dialysis. — at Swedish Medical Center.
