MaryAnn Status 5/12


Things have gone very well today.  We've met with multiple doctors, most notably the infectious disease doctor.  Right now the feeling is that she will be able to go home on Thursday morning.  Tomorrow they will pull together the home treatment stuff.  The antibiotic regimen is not simple and definitely has the doctor scratching his head, but he  will have it together tomorrow.  The orthopedists are happy with how everything looks.  The endocrinologists are happy about her glucose levels and are confident she will be on oral medication when the infection is done with.  She is feeling good, walking well and the shoulder is not causing much pain.

I'm heading home tonight and will work tomorrow and after my church meeting Wednesday night I'll head up to the
Hutchins' and then come over to the hospital on Thursday to pick her up.  Right now that's the plan, we know it could change, but would certainly like it to happen like this.

Above are pictures of the scarf that a high school friend sent and a picture of the shoulder

All this time I've been thinking it was your RIGHT shoulder. Hope everything goes perfectly for you from now on!

It was good to see you yesterday. I didn't realize that what were looking at is your left shoulder with the drain but your right shoulder was still in fact the one that had been operated on. We love you and hope you have finally turned the corner for a complete recovery!
