@pednurse61, and all.
Hello, I'm sorry your mother-in-law had such a terrible reaction to Reclast. What sent her to the ICU? I had 32 tough, 3 difficult days but I didn't need that intensive care. Did she drink a lot of extra water to stay rally hydrated? Also, did her doctor check her kidney functions carefully prior to the procedure and her calcium and other bloodwork?. My doctor told me I could not, not have the Reclast if my calcium levels and other factors weren't in line. This can cause serious kidney issues. It also had to be done within a certain number of days of the bloodwork, so we were extremely careful I met the criteria.

Next year, when time for the 2nd infusion, I'll weigh all the conditions and remember your message. Believe me, I'll also remember this week.
The decision re the 2nd IV will be made with deep thought.

Thank you for being part of this discussion for me and others. It's so helpful to chat with others and weigh all sides when making such decisions. Thanks.
Blessings all.
Elizabeth
