Okay well today mom went to the ER because she has been having fever and she has an infection in the skin in her right leg. They took a CT Scan of her leg and abdomen and the great news is that there are no new tumors and the infection is just that, an infection. Its an infection like strep that will take a couple days to go away. It most likely started from a small abrasion or tiny cut that never... would have been noticed. The doctor says the reason the infection became so bad is becuase her immune system is compromised the way it is. She did receive antibiotics already and is getting fluids. She has now been admitted and will stay at Methodist in the medical center for a couple days under observation and to just keep an eye on the swelling and make sure it goes down. At first when she arrived they notified a surgeon just in case they needed to do surgery. The hope is that becuase antibiotics were administered early enough that it will fight the infection and she will be just fine. She is doing well tonight and is resting. She has her own room and is responding to text messages and email. Anyway, thank you all for your continued support, love, and prayers.
