Looks like I will be able to watch from home after all !

Before my doctor's appointment this afternoon I prepared to be sent to the hospital. I packed pajamas , toiletries, magazines that I have not yet had time to read, my Blanky, diet coke,a lap top , and other necessities. Mike, Cindy and I all agreed that I was getting no better and would have no choice but to comply with the doctor's next step of hospitalization with IV antibiotic treatment. Yes we had excepted the inevitable and were reluctantly complying. Mike even took off work to drive me himself.
By the grace of God,though The doctor seen a slight improvement and a glimmer of hope. She felt that since the new oral antibiotic was making a teeny improvement, that perhaps if she adds a second cream too, we might just be able to avoid needles and isolation .Of course I was willing to stay home for another week and see, so that is the plan. Well that and seeing another doctor, Monday as an outpatient, who will put some kind of chemical wrap on my leg to give the final push. I am so happy to be able to actually watch the super bowl at home, that even the tiny blisters that are appearing on my arms and hands from the strong antibiotics, nor the constant itching when even my hair touches my skin, which is also caused by my immune system being pushed into overdrive are no problem that I can't handle.
Thank you all for your prayers and please continue as though I have turned a major corner, I am still in the woods. But hey for now I will keep plugging until I am completely recovered.
