Nancy was home this week and went to see the wound specialist. The good news is the wounds are slightly improved and so she did not take a step backwards after the week in the hospital from the staph infection.
The doctor was surprised at how sick Nancy got based on the culture results. He said it had to be the result of the toxic shock to her system.
The antibiotics she is on are hard on her stomach; especially because they need to be taken four times daily on an empty stomach. The timing of when to take them is difficult as well.
She has resumed the Hperbaric Oxygen treatments this week. Our children who are nurses change her dressings on a daily basis, so we are hoping the wounds continue to heal. The doctor is confident they will heal; it will just take time.
She actually went on the boat for a few hours yesterday, so it was good to get out. Her hair continues to come in and her eyesight continues to improve; all good things.
Thanks again for the prayers and support; it means a great deal.
Bob
