>>The infectious disease specialist was down this morning, and reviewed all of the case history, particularly the tests.<<

That is very reassuring. I suppose it may seem presumptuous for us to be brain-storming and second-guessing, especially to people who have only had good experiences with doctors and hospitals.

My own attitudes are colored by the fact that I have been handling medical malpractice cases for quite a while now.
Sometimes mistakes are made. Sometimes the ball is dropped. Several people have posted about diagnoses which were not made until a long time had passed. This is not intended to be an attack on the medical profession. It's a simple fact that doctors are human, too.

Have you taken a look at the chronology I have boiled down from the posts here? It's about a page long, in outline form. I don't think it would hurt to ask Edwarda's treating physicians to consider it, do you?

Neo,

I've been reading all the posts regarding Edwarda's condition and haven't been able to find the reference to bleeding. Have the doctors said there is internal bleeding? I saw that she had bruising, did the doctors indicate any swelling of the joints?

I am very concerned about the "diet" supplement and her taking Percoden for pain. I am assuming that the doctors have ruled out adverse drug interaction?

Thank you for keeping us all informed, and thank jla for me.
