Weekly update 11/10

Well, this past week has been a long week.  Anita is still fighting off the infection.  I would say that it peaked sometime this weekend, as positive progress was finally seen Monday and Tuesday (today).

She is receiving in-home IV antibiotic therapy, which a local nurse comes in to administer.  They are also adding an anti-MRSA antibiotic just to make sure everything gets cleared up.  Dr. D. has been fantastic, he has seen anita every day since she went back into the hospital, even this past saturday and sunday.  He is going out on a short trip from Wed to Sun, so he wants to make sure everything is on the mend before he leaves.

Once again, i cant say enough about all of the people who have visited, helped to take anita to doctor appointments, shopped for us, and especially brought food.  it's been a major help to us.  The only thing that confused me was that my Egyptian friend Tarek brought us lasagne.  ???????????

Overall, anita is getting much better, she is moving around the house at more than snail-like speeds now, and she can get into and out of a chair without assistance now.
