His Battle with a Community Acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) Infection and Septicemia
We went to see Dr. Daftarian today, finally. It is still pouring down rain, but I think even Marshall was ready to get there today. All of us thought that he wouldn’t come back from her office today, that she would put him right back into the hospital, but she didn’t. She wants him to go to physical therapy so badly, but our insurance won’t cover it, and we just dont have the money to spend, unless he really needs it. He is very strong willed, I don’t worry that he will work himself back to health.
She removed his pic line from his neck, and sent it off to the lab for culturing. I hope his fever will go away now that that thing is out of his neck.
Eric had to come help us get him to the doctor, he had to carry Marshall to the car, it was so sad. He weighed 195 pounds. I got the Suburban stuck in the front yard when I drove up to get Marshall, the ground is super saturated with water. That is wintertime in Texas!
I ordered a new mattress this morning, hopefully it will be delivered today. I bought it sight unseen (unlaid?) from the place that made Zoe’s mattress (very comfortable). So who knows. It will be better than what we have, I know that, and I just don’t have time to go lay around in mattress stores! If it is horrid, we can get another one at a later date.
Dad is still here, he is cooking up a storm filling up our freezers (as if they are not already overflowing!). I asked him if he wanted to bring his wife and daughter here for Thanksgiving, as it looks like he will not be home by then. He is thinking about that.
