Home at Last

All dressed and ready to go HOME! D'ya like the outfit I picked out for her? :-) 'cept the shoes and socks, which were courtesy of St Joseph Hospital. It took them awhile to process her out of the hospital. Not entirely unexpected. We stopped by Abe's Cafe in downtown Littleton on the way home, so I could pick up some of their tasty chicken lemon soup for her, in case she gets hungry later.

Bringing her home

I'm heading home now, then to hospital to get her.

New room

Kristan's definitely staying in hospital tonight. Probably most of tomorrow. And they moved her to 474. She seems pretty chipper, the foot seems to be healing and the swelling is going down. They're keeping her to try to get her glucose level down, which will help with the healing.

Out of surgery

She's out of surgery and into recovery. Doc said it went well.

Into surgery

K is heading into surgery. She's in pre-op now. Her toe is a mess, they're taking it in a few minutes. We didn't get much notice.

Extra dialysis

They took her off to an extra Dialysis. I headed home to try to get some sleep.

Not Osteomyelitis

No sign of osteomyelitis in her toe or leg. This is great news. I think.

Got the Fistulagram

She had a fistulagram appointment today, but they came to the hospital to do it instead. Nice of them.

Not a clot

Sonogram eliminated a clot as a suspect. Sounds like they'll continue IV antibiotics and schedule a consult with Ortho in the morning.

Not MRSA

Two specialists saw her, and they don't think it's one of those scary fast moving deep tissue infections. I'm guessing the toe wound she's had for awhile now, is heading south. She's on IV antibiotics now, two of em. I'm heading out to nap in the car for awhile.

Dec ER Visit

I brought Kristan to St Joseph ER after dialysis tonight, because her left leg is swollen and red, and the doc thought it might be a life threatening leg clot. The ER doc says it looks more like a foot infection. The leg is hot. They'll do an ultrasound to find out more.
