 Good evening. It’s Thursday evening and I just got home and settled in from another day at the hospital. Ms. Kate is doing so much better. The first few days were terrible for her. She got so nauseous from taking her Flagyl antibiotic. They tried all kinds of things to get it under control. Sunday they moved her to a regular room, (I think it was Sunday) Yesterday morning I went in and she was all smiles because she had had a great night’s sleep. She was still having some nausea but she refused her last dose of the antibiotic and has been better ever since. They have started her on Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy and she did great on both. Today they taught me how to do wound care at home. And —- it is possible that she will get to come home tomorrow, if not —- I think it will be on Thursday. 

Yesterday we decided that we probably need to get a wheelchair to get Kate in and out of the house for a couple of weeks. She’s not yet ready to try going up our stairs in the garage to get into the house. That means that she will have to walk all the way around the house to the back door which is a long way. I asked a couple friends if they had one and struck out. So — Amazon delivers!!! I bought a new one and it will be here tomorrow. I could have rented one I guess but it is cheaper to buy a new one than to rent one for two or three weeks. 

That’s it for my update. Thank you for all of your prayers. Peace.
