I got Mom to her doctor yesterday. He was concerned over this cellulitis (as he calls it) so he re-ordered her anitbiotic (that she can take, it does upset her stomach, but no other allergy concerns).
Amy talked to Dr. Carolyn and she had just had a case like this in Texas - a patient with cellullitis that a course of antibiotics did not solve. Carolyn believes her patient had contact dermatitis and her staff doctor agreed ~ which does make sense. Carolyn said to only use vaseline as a lotion on the skin - to take away all her other lotions. So, we are going to try it.
I got a bunch of cute short sleeved t-shirts in a big size for her to wear, so they are long and easy on and off. After all, what is more comfortable that a t-shirt?
I just fixed her breakfast - iced coffee (in the morning), ciabatta roll toasted with a little cream cheese and fig jam. Then toast and ginger ale and yogurt until she is done with the antibiotic.
So, we will see what happens with mom. I will let you know.
Love, Leslie
PS ~ Duke plays North Carolina today and Lori says we all have to wear Duke Blue. Time to get dressed and follow the dress code.
