maybe going home . . .

Nearly a full week in the hospital following a bad cat bite infection, and it looks like Bill will finally get to go home . . . . with PICC line in his arm and me as his nurse, giving him intravenous antibiotics every 6 hours. Not really comfortable with this but I guess it’s better than his being in the hospital.

With the pandemic scare going on, hospital workers seem to be trying their best to send patients home if at all possible, knowing everyone would be safer staying away from crowded places.

The doctor in charge ordered an MRI today, we thought to determine what type of medication and how long he’ll need it. But before he even returned from that department the clinical transition specialist had informed me it will only be for one week.

I assume he’ll be switched to an oral antibiotic then?

The infectious disease doctor is extremely hard to extract information from!

    1. Amen!
      We are home now. I’m very uncomfortable doing the injections in the PICC line, fearful of making a really bad mistake, but so far, so good.
