Post ER Update

Several people asked about what happened after K's trip to the E.R. last week. The visit and related treatments seemed to help with the symptoms at the time. The fever stayed down, and the chills went away. We're still not sure what that was all about, unless it was the beginning of an infection, and the I.V. antibiotic she's been getting has knocked it down. Or maybe she was just fighting something like a cold without other symptoms. Her big heel wound, which the E.R. doc said didn't look bad, because it wasn't deep, does look like it's healing up slowly. Unfortunately, while favoring her heel, she's developed two other wounds on the ball of her foot - one from pressure, and the other from tearing off skin while removing a bandage. So now we're watching three wounds. Sheesh.
