Long Week
Well Daddy is back home now, he got home yesterday about 4 pm. He had a very rough night last night, he felt very bad all evening. He is still taking anitbiotics by mouth to get his leg back how it was. He is feeling some better today, not completly better but still better. But he is glad to be home, and out of the hospital.

Well as it stands right now, Pel will be coming home tomorrow from AnMed. He will continue on oral antibiotics for a while. The Doc doesn’t want to overwhelm his system with too many antibiotics in fear he will become immune to them and when needed with the liver transplant they won’t be effective and if he gets infected then, that would be the grandaddy of all infections, let me tell you! So trying to find that magic day of when to continue or stop the antibiotic is up to the Doc, that what he makes the big bucks for! Ha, Our family sure does miss Pel when he is not here. Our horse, Spirit, misses him too, cause Pel feeds him a scoop more than I do and if you ever have a horse to founder, you learn your lesson about feeding too much. Hope you all have a blessed day. Hopefully Pel will be here to drop you a line tomorrow.
God Bless,
Claire
update oct.4.2006
Just an update on Pelham. His leg is improving, still receiving IV antibiotics. He had to have a central line inserted today secondary to his veins are really bad now, but his spirits are good and he is very eager to recover from this infection so he can resume his active status on the tranplant list having to put him on “hold” until he is completely free of infection before he has surgery. Pel sends his love to you all and thanks again.
God Bless,
Claire
Update:
As an update to the post below, Daddy is in the hospital for his leg. He is in room 693 at Anderson. Again please just keep him in your prayers. Sorry this is short, just wanted to let everyone know.
Quick Update –
Well I don’t want to wine but several people have told me to put on here when I have bad days as well. So I am doing this quick update to say that I had a very unconfortable weekend. I have been cold all weekend, but did not appear to be runing a fever.
On Sunday I really felt bad and around 1800hrs my left leg started hurting, just like it did the last time. My leg then began to run a fever, turn red with red streaks and beginning to swell.
So this morning I am headed to Anderson, either to the doctor’s office or to the hospital.
I hope each of you have a wonderful day.
God Bless You,
Pel
