Update on My Mom

[Hostile]

I got to see the wounds tonight. They look much better. She has a slight fever, but is doing well otherwise. In a day or so they may release her for outpatient care of the hyperbaric treatments. I'll have her at my house and will have to take her back and forth to those.

She won't be able to go home for a while. Maybe never. Tomorrow she has an interview with some folks from a housing authority who might be able to get her in the type of housing where she lives now, but here in Tucson.

If that could happen I would be so relieved. If it can't, I at least now know Doctors and clinics here who are determined to help her.

I finally feel like she will not lose her foot after seeing the improvement on her wounds. Now we just have to get those suckers healed up.

GREAT NEWS!!!

Definitely good news, Hos. No gangrene is a great thing...my late grandfather on my mom's side lost half his foot to gangrene and later his leg up to his thigh. Very difficult to see.

Your mom's a trooper!
