Teddy da Bear 11 #51 Posted February 21, 2009 Well I take her weightloss one day at a time. I/we won today! She maintained her weight from the day before.....so no loss is a good thing. But.......her wound is leaking.....and without describing it..... It does not look good. Changed the dressing and cleaned her incision. It is still leaking and red. Doctor called in for antibiotics. But what worries me is that they threw a ton of antibiotics at her, in the hospital. I really think this indicates a problem the doctor needs to address. But he thinks otherwise......hmmmm If it does not get better we will insist on seeing him monday. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy da Bear 11 #53 Posted February 22, 2009 Kathy gained a half pound over yesterday! The antibiotics seem to be doing their magic..... No more incision problems...for now.... I got her down to the Walmart with a walker.... She resisted shopping for food.....but we got er done. She still has no appetite, but I keep after her to eat. That extra calorie "insure" seems to be doing a big part. More later.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy da Bear 11 #59 Posted February 22, 2009 Thanks so much from us, to you that think of us as friends. That means so much to us as we do not have many....... I am going to keep her walking as that is what they do for patients in the hospital. This is the second time I have had to take care of someone in dire need. It is really nerve racking.

stevasaurus 23,493 #61 Posted February 22, 2009 Just checking in...still in my prayers. Just a question....is she telling you how to clean the place up yet? That would be an excellent sign she is getting better. Still there for you both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #62 Posted February 23, 2009 Guys.....I mopped the floor in the kitchen and bathroom. Took out the trash and got the dishes done.... Place does not look too bad. Kathy lost a pound between the last weigh-in... Got her out to Meijer's and walked her around. Picked up some things I thought would interest her to eat. I got her to go to the Hacienda Resteraunt and she ate surprizingly good. I thought the smells of the cooking food would stimulate her appetite. She drank her insure..... She did not feel sick as she has before after eating. Good sign.... I hope she gains a little from all that.... More later... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy da Bear 11 #68 Posted February 28, 2009 Kathy had her staples taken out of the incision this morning. She is doing pretty good... She had a little better appetite today and seems to be holding her own. I think we are in the clear on her health. Thanks again for the thoughts and prayers. They did a great deal of good!

bitten 134 #70 Posted February 28, 2009 Mike and Kathy it is so good to hear good news coming from you guys. It is times like this that really makes one aware of what is important in life. So I cant afford the GT14 with the FEL on e-bay but knowing that life for someone is getting better really means more to me. My thoughts and prayers will still be with you guys, and hey I might win the lottery tonight and get the GT P.J. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
