Did I mention she has pneumonia? Yeah, caused by a staff infection. The doc says probably a month before she really feels back to normal. What ever normal is! She thought she was going home yesterday but then she got sick after breakfast so they kept her an extra day to keep an eye on her. The test for C-diff came back negative so at least it's not that. She feels much better today so he's comfortable sending her home.
14 days of strong antibiotics to fight the pneumonia. He is giving her pain meds so she can be active while fighting the pneumonia, which is very important. I have been hanging out since I got off work last night and Maddy has looked and sounded much better in that time. We even walked down to Starbucks for midnight coco! It was a very nice evening.
One last thing, he wants her back in one month for another CT scan. If any of the infection persists he will have to do a bronch to see what's going on. Hopefully it will be all cleared up by then.
Looks like he doc forgot to bring his RX pad so we will be stuck here until he can get back with her pain script this afternoon. Oh well, at least the end is in sight! Thanks again for all the prayers. Merry Christmas!!
