Okay. Here's the rundown. My brother is a heart patient. He just had an open-heart surgery. It's his 5th. Since he got home from the hospital he has been taking Tylenol with Codiene. He has also been REALLY itchy! This morning my mom took him to the lab to get blood-tested. They took him off the Tylenol with Codiene, thinking it would help! But it didn't! He looks and feels WORSE! He has hives and told us he feels like his throat is closing up. Plz help! My brother needs your help more than anything in the world! We called the Doctor On Call at New York Prebstrityrian. My mom said that if the Doctor doesn't call back, we will have to bring him to the ER! Plz help me doctors! I think going to the ER is a GREAT idea but my brother would really like to know what is going on now! PLZ!!!!!!!! I REALLY NEED DOCTORS HELP! And we will DEFINITLEY take the prayers of others! PLZ HELP!
