MJ's a mans man, he spent his time fixing not his boat, but his buddy's boat as opposed to doing domestic chores. (Insert belch here)

Re: Update on my wife
 

I use to have that bumper sticker!!

I got it some what clean, wasn't that bad! As long as there were no dishes in the sink and the bathroom didn't smell like pee ::) she was ok!

Re: Update on my wife
 

Copy that. "There's no place like home" :)

Re: Update on my wife
 

Ok we are back at the hospital now!! *:'(

Last wed my wife got very ill with a rash all over he back side?

Called 911 (i will spare you why) they took her to ER and they admitted her.

after a ton of meds they got things under control and she stayed in ICU till sat morning, now has a privet room.

she has some kind of a infection not to do with anything that she has had??

They did a CT Scan and found a huge abscess under the skin in her butt, they had to cut it open and drain it, what a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

since they did that she has gotten 4 puss balls that have busted thur her skin in the leg and are draining and with in the last 24 hours another ball has surfaced on the back of the leg, the size of a of ball!

They no want to touch the one on the leg till they get tests back in the next 24 hour to find out what kind of infection they are dealing with??

She has been on a real strong IV antibiotic since Thursday and these things are still poping all over the place??

So far the graph site is ok, but he told me this morning if one of these things get near the graph it cause it to fail and maybe even lose the leg!

so we wait for the test to come back and then the infection control team will no better how to deal with it? *They say some strains of staph infections are resistant to some disease?

Ok thats it for now!! I have been awake for some 35 hours of the last 39 and 26 of that was work!

After I get a nap I will try to post the new motor pic's *:-/

Re: Update on my wife
 

You and yours are in my prayers! Keep your chin up MJ! Billy Mac ;D

Re: Update on my wife
 

Here's hoping your wife gets better.

Re: Update on my wife
 

MJ,
Prayers for your wife, you and family.

Re: Update on my wife
 

MJ: I just read you whole post and what an ordeal you and the miss are going through. I just said a little prayer for you and the miss. Keep your chin up.

I did not hear what or how it happened, If it is not out of place could I ask how.

My wife had a broken foot. Then one year later she broke the ankle on the same foot. It took 8 weeks for the foot to heal and 6 weeks for the ankle which still gives her trouble a year later. I have been through some but not all that you have.

Stay by her side and tell her how much she means to you. I am sure this is a strong building block for your marrige.

Hopeing all gets better soon.

. Re: Update on my wife
 

Thanks all!! I told her you are all praying and she said thats nice of all of you!!

I said you don't know them yet!! :o ;)

Turbo,

My wife is diabetic, heart, and vascular disease. She had been in the hospital for a host of other problems, mostly pneumonia.

The blood flow to the leg was shut off by clogged veins and that is were they did the first bi-pass, aorta to both groin's, this gave a good source of flow to both legs.

2 months later they did another bi-pass in her thigh were the vain was no good.

then 1 year later the 2nd bi-pass failed and they did the third bi-pass that started this thread.

When at the rehab she got a infection and that ended up causing the need for another operation to clean the wound and inspect the graphed vain.

That was a month ago. Now this whole new infection!! They have no idea were or what started this infection but its bad!!

All antibiotics have failed to help so far?? They have a culture at the infection control now and by tomorrow after noon we should no something and they will say what meds will fight this strain of infection.

So there you have it a brief history and diary of the last 19 months!

Thanks again guys!!!!!!!!!!!
