Mom is still in a lot of pain. They did put a PAC on her so that she can control the medication. They are monitoring the infection of the blood stream everyday. The infection in her back is confirmed Group B Streptococcus. The one in her blood stream is streptococcus but they are not sure what family.
The blood cultures have to be negative for 5 days in a row and then they are going to put a pic line in to give her antibiotics to her. She is very weak and can not move on her own. Maybe towards the middle of the weak they will look into a skilled nursing unit then rehab when she is able. Mom has to be on antibiotics for 6 weeks through her pic line and of course a nurse must assist with that. I have a hard time with the skilled nursing but unfortunately that is the only way until she is stronger.
I think she is ready to have friends visit. If you would not mind just check in with me first shanna@familytreefinancial.net thank you. She is just in so much pain and then the medication makes her sleepy. I am headed over to the hospital to decorate for Christmas. Thank you for all your prayers.
