The bad news ............. all the doctors finally consulted and they believe Jude had Autonomic Dysreflexia (yep I had a friend that was right just via the blog). http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001431.htm
Now granted Jude has a high heart rate vs a slow one. However the doctor explained that Jude has neurological conditions that can respond differently. We also haven't noticed a blood pressure spike, but I bet we would if we monitored the pressure DURING an attack, which we have not done. So they are putting him on a new medication. If the medication does NOT work then we will be admitted. Obviously, we will want Jude monitored very closely as this condition can be serious.
To think I still have to fight for his nurses next Wednesday and prove medical necessity. Picture me rolling me eyes like a teenager.
