The plan (or lack there of)

So, we leave tomorrow.  One of the following could happen.

1) We are seen in clinic, declared "cured" and sent home.

2) We are seen in clinic, declared "infected", and sent to main campus and admitted.  Dr. E decides he doesn't want to use the surgery he has on schedule on the 20th, so we go home with a picc line (long term i.v. access), for 4-7 days of antibiotics and hopefully have someone locally remove it...  (Note you, we've never done a picc line, but i'm told it's not too difficult in the grand scheme of things).

3)  We are seen in clinic, declared "infected", and sent to main campus and admitted.  Dr. E decides he DOES want to use the surgery he has on schedule on the 20th.  We pray we get into the Ronald McDonald House by the time he's discharged so we have somewhere clean and safe where we can come and go from the hospital.  Have surgery on the 20th,and be discharged a day or two later (assuming no complications, ha!)

We really are hoping to get into the RMH.... Unfortunately it's about the worst possible time typically (middle of summer)... Travis needs to be home some of the time and we need to be settled somewhere! 

Can you feel the stress?

Well, he's not concerned :) (Most of you have seen this already, but for those who haven't...)
