Four bouts of cellulitis in a year.
We took Carol to the E.R. Tuesday night when
her temp jumped to 101.9 and her left shoulder
and chest showed bright red, hot to the touch.
I was not pleased with the medical services this time.
It took them almost six hours to administer the
first dose of antibiotics. Would've been longer if
I hadn't questioned the delay...twice.
By the time they finally went into action, the
redness and swelling had progressed to the entire
arm, left shoulder, chest and back. And the swelling
got really scary big.
Tonight they changed her IV meds to pills.
If the symptoms fade away enough, they might
send her home this weekend. We hope.

What a weird winter, so far. Very little snow.
A lot of rain and wind.
They say tomorrow might be close to 70 degrees!
But they've issued wind and flood warnings.
I just hope Mother Nature isn't saving it up
for one huge dump.

She came home Saturday, tired but better.
Sending prayers your way anyhow
Thank you, Joe. We can use 'em all.
I will add you both to my prayer list as well. It is difficult to fight for another through a swamp of apathy. Something seems so wrong out there. Keep at it.
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear this about your sister, Jean. I do sincerely wish her well.
Doom, it certainly wears us down but, we're not quitting.
Foam, thank you so much.
Good to see you!
