Lisa, she is much more optimistic. She is getting IV antibiotics and her leg is a little bit better. The doctor said she would be in there for at least four days. We are so pleased with her treatment by Huntsville Hospital.
She has so many chronic illnesses, she is a tough patient to take care of. I had to use a bit of Mama Bear tactics in the ER. One of the team members who had to decide if they admitted her made the statement " If we admit her." I couldn't let that go. Her life depended on it.
No, "When she is admitted. Because she is going to be admitted!" Oral antibiotics had not worked and she was at the point where one more day and she would be looking at amputation. Dr. Falcon had already said she was going to recommend admission.
I was raised to be a "nice Southern lady."
But when it's a matter of life and death, sometimes you just have to stand your ground.
I had written a long post to Colleen and somehow someone messaging me knocked it out into cyberspace. I will try it again later this evening.
Hope you have a restful weekend and take time to enjoy what you love.
Love and light,
Mamacita Jane
Good for you, @mamacita. You know when to give up the "nice Southern lady" persona and become Mama Bear! Mama Bear helped save your daughter's life!!
