dbubley Update

It has been a long afternoon/evening/night and now early Tuesday morning. Nothing moves fast in an ER. We never saw the first doctor again - the one who said she probably wouldn't be admitted. A blur of doctors, nurses and aides later, she has been admitted. Actually, I left her in the holding area, finally on a more comfortable gurney, awaiting the transfer to her room. Her white blood count is 25, which they said is high. They have her on IV antibiotics, morphine and vicodin. She is in much less pain, not comfortable, just not in the "crying out loud" kind of pain.

I think the cellulitus is in her right leg. The antibiotics should take care of that, but they seem to think the white cell count is higher than they'd expect for the cellulitus.

I'm starting to make very little sense, even to me. I'm bushed. Guy and I are off to bed.
Tomorrow's another day . . . .

Eep! I'll think healing thoughts. I just read your other post about this too. I hope that things improve as fast as they can for this sort of thing.

I'm sending love, hope and prayers for her.
