Back at the hospital, and my mom is doing much better.
She really can rally. no doubt. It looks like her leg had an infection, because the antibiotics appear to be working now. The only problem is that they have effectively messed with her digestive system. HTe last time that that happened, she lost a ton of weight, which she never really put back on. I have gotten her some yogurt to hopefully help things a bit. If all goes well, maybe we can have her out of here in a day or so. I rented a ton of movies to sit and watch with her, and brought a bunch of food from home, so we will sit and veg out and hopefully we can get her to pig out a bit.
My little canine brother cody, slept on the bed with me last night. It was cute and cozy. V doesn't like the thought of him getting bed duty when he comes to live with me, but I have promised to keep him well laundered.
The big, fat words of eeno at January 24, 2005 03:12 PMIt is good to get the updates and you and you mother! After taking antibiotics, it is always a good idea to take a probiotics supplement. You can find them in the refrigerated section of a health food store. Yogurt is good too, of cousre.

I'm glad to hear she's doing better, and that she has you as her champion and advocate. Even the best-intentioned medical personnel don't always stay on top of the details: your mom's very fortunate that you're there keeping on eye on them as well as her.
