Called the GI doc's office re: the sample we took in this am....it was negative....so doc will call in the am (I hope) with the next step. I am very very very very much relieved that I have had 2 negative c-diff reports. So I am now thinking for sure that the Sx are from LC and expect her to have me go back on the entocort.
Grand daughter just called and she & her Mom & Papa are on the way over with a "surprise " to cheer me up! wonder what it is???? My DH is gone to Grants Pass on a trip I was supposed to also make.... but have to stay home cuz of my D problem...nervous about the 3 hour trip down and back. But he'll be back tomorrow nite....goodie!

What wonderful news! Hopefully soon the 'D' will be back under control with the Entocort, I am so pleased to read your post and hear you sounding much happier.
That definitely is good news. I was wondering if your doc was going to make a second test. A second test for C. diff is always a good idea, since false negatives are not exactly rare. A few patients, (and their docs), end up on a "wild goose chase" prior to the initial diagnosis, looking for a non-existent problem, after the doc overlooks C. diff, because the first test was negative.
The surprise.....a bouguet of tulips!! They had been to a Dairy Princess Banquet and my daughter "won" the centerpiece which was a vase of beautiful mixed tulips....her dear hubby aslo gave me a cow pencil and cow eraser!!! My little granddaughter was so excited to be up so late and get to come over at 10 and to present me with the floweres. It was so nice and fun too.
thanks for the congrats....
