getting caught up

With all that has happened recently, it is difficult to sort it all out and fill in the information, so I am going to summarize bring everybody up to date. On March 25th, Laura took me in to Flagler hospital ER. They did numerous tests and decided to admit me, due to a number of small issues.

I was vomiting with diareah(spelling?) , my ankles and feet were bright red, and I was very lethargic. They did a catscan on my head and stomach area. They took x-rays , they tested my blood, and did all kinds of other tests. They eventually decided I had a gastro-intestinal problem, which was going around. Time to correct. They thought there was some kind of interaction between the one antibiotic and possibly the cumiden. So they changed the antibiotic.

Anyway, they let me out on Wed, March 31. Now some of the meds are different, and we have a different home IV, which has to be administered twice a day, so 9-10 each morning and evening, I am hooked up to an IV of Vancomycin, which is supposedly a very powerful anti-biotic. The legs have not yet cleared up but they are coming.

Thanks to the Criket, we have been out doing things.Yesterday and today we went to the Catfish Festival in Cresent City.

On April 1st, We finally got to take a boat ride. It felt really good and was beautiful on the water. Lester and Sue pushed the boat across the canal. I took the criket to the other side and used the walker to get down the ramp. It was a big effort, but well worth it. It should get easier as I get some of my muscle tone back. More later when we learn what is going on.
