As my Mother in Law would say!! (she always seems to quote scooby doo) hee hee
So: BIG SIGH!
Matt's foot is infected. That sore on his foot has gotten worse and not better, even with 3x a day dressing changes. Called the MD today b/c matt started running a low grade fever and not feeling well, foot very red, swollen and painful. :( Poor bubby..
They wanted to admit him immediately for IV antibiotics, but I wanted to try oral first since redness decreases with Advil and fever is low grade. That and Matt does better at home and was getting freaked out about possibly being re-admitted to the hospital. (Can you blame him?) So they started him on high dose antibiotics 3x a day for the next 14 DAYS!!!
HOWEVER, if he spikes a higher temp today (> 100.5) or tomorrow, pain/redness/drainage worsens, we have to immediately go to the ER. So we are praying that the antibiotics will help and he will be feeling better in the next day or so.
He took tomorrow off so he can keep his footsie elevated and clean and to rest in general. Please pray for his immediate healing and that we can avoid the ER!
Thanks! Have a blessed day in the Lord.
