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

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
