The Infection Continued

UPDATE!!

I got home from working on a Stat project yesterday to find my roommate sitting in our kitchen with a tube coming out of her arm and black sharpie dots up and down her arm. Her doctor had apparently sent her to the hospital, where they did not try to drain the infection, but put her on an IV with a much stronger dose of antibiotic. They sent her home with a portable IV that would continue to pump the antibiotic into her all night. The sharpie up and down her arm was outlining where the infection had spread at that point in time.

A few hours after I got home she started noticing that there was more red up past her elbow and spreading outside of the doctors lines. After a frantic call to her doctor (who said to wait it out), we remembered that we were in the middle of mormonville and should probably get her a blessing. Our home teachers, and FHE brothers were not answering their phones, but we did finally get some friends of an old roommate to come over. After the blessing and a quick photo shoot (for her mother), I sent her to bed.

The infection has spread a little more this morning, but we shall see what the doctors say, as she has an appointment at the hospital in a few hours. Since this is the most exciting thing that has happened in my life since Thanksgiving and since she said I could...here are some pictures.

(the red spot on the end of her finger is where it all began.)

(The black sharpie is where the infection had spread when she was at the hospital, the red sharpie is where it had spread after more than 6hrs on the IV.)

(A nice shot of her antibiotic grenade/liahona/christmas ornament...it looks so silly. They even gave her a fanny pack)

**Disclaimer...yes I know that this is a serious situation she is in, but for her sake and mine I am trying to make everything funny and keep her happy and not worried sick. Please keep her in your prayers!!
