OK....so some not so good news!
As many of you have read, I have been experiencing A LOT of pain...especially on the left side. Unfortunately it did not get any better over the weekend...but instead it got worse. My fever spiked to over a 101 and the pain was as bad as the day of surgery. Last night I noticed inflammation and redness in that area and it also felt warm to the touch.
I went to the doctor this evening. Diagnosis....CELLULITIS!! This is either a non-contagious form of strep OR staph. They need to get it under control or it can be extremely dangerous. The doc put me on a stronger antibiotic called Zyvox/Linezolid that needs approval from my insurance due to its extremely high cost...so I can't start it until tomorrow...RIDICULOUS! She wants me back in at 7:45 am on Thursday. If I show no marked improvement or it worsens, she will most likely admit me into to the hospital for IV antibiotics. This could then lead to me starting reconstruction on my left side all over again. ERRRRRRR!
Please pray that this gets taken care of one way or another because I DO NOT want them to have to remove the tissue expander on one side and start allllll over...nor do I want this to cause me to be very ill. My kids' summer last year was already ruined...they don't need a recap of that :(
I am also VERY disappointed because I want to got to school on Wednesday to see the talent show our 5th-8th graders are performing from 1:00-3:00. It was totally awesome last year! I told them that I would come say goodbye to them. If I don't, they will be disappointed...and I really will too!! :( If I feel well enough to travel then I just need to find a ride...can't drive on pain meds.
So please add that to your prayer list also!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED LOVE AND SUPPORT!!!!!
