my mother in law 63 years of age about 5ft 5in 190lbs on pd dialisis for the past six months had a history of high blood pressure, has recently been admitted to the ICU. She went to the ER with severe radial and throbbing pain in her head neck and upper back. she was also within the week put on Adavan to help her sleep. the nurse in the ER gave her IV medications of benedryl and something for pain. immidently after the color in her eyes were gone and she was twitching, speaking loud, and kept saying her shaken leg syndrome was the reason for it. at this time i left the ER being told that i will get a phone call around three in the morning to pick her up. I call the Hospital at three and they tell me she has been admitted to the ICU due to a medication reaction. Now five days later she is still in ICU on venelation and low blood pressure. they say she is making slow progress and they are lessening BP meds and weaning her off sedation. they guarentee me she will be on ventelation untill at least friday morning.
