Hannah

Hello everyone! Please be praying for Hannah…I took Hannah to the ER on Friday night (thank the Lord my parents were here because Jeff was away!)…she has what they are calling some sort of strange infection in/on her right foot. She is on massive amounts of antibiotics (4 times a day!) in order to get rid of the infection and reduce the swelling in her foot and toes. They did an x-ray to make sure there was nothing there and on Friday they didn’t see anything, but they called back yesterday and said the radiologist looked at the x-rays again and saw a possible foreign body near her toes. So, we are not sure what that all means. She has to see her regular doctor tomorrow to have her check the foot and figure out what to do about the new x-ray results. We are not sure what is going on or what will happen next. They said if it actually is a foreign body she will need surgery to remove it. Right now, the only thing we are to do is keep her off her foot and be watching for a fever…if she spikes a fever she has to be taken to the ER immediately for IV antibiotics. So far, so good with the fever.The ER doc believes this could possibly be Lyme related and was VERY upset Hannah has not been getting regular blood draws to keep track of her Lyme numbers. She said she should have been on antibiotics for 6 MONTHS (she was on them for 2 weeks) and should be getting blood drawn once a month!!!I am really not please with our ped because of that -- in my opinion she should have known that and been on top of it.Anyway, I will keep you posted and let you know what happens tomorrow.
