One step forward and two steps back

Poor Mama can't seem to get ahead!

She was doing well in PT, finally able to get up and even take a few steps and Friday, another fistula popped up beside where the first one was. Off to the ER, she was given some anitbiotics and sent back to the home. Early Sunday morning... about 5:30, I got a call. The fistula had popped and they were sending her back to the ER. Doc fixed her up with an ostomy bag to drain into and sent her back. This morning, she had run a low grade fever so they sent her 30 miles to the hospital where I was incarcerated a patient. After being there all day, the doc there said she's doing okay but still has a touch of pneumonia so he changed her anitbiotic and sent her back to the nursing home.

And told her not to do anyhting strenuous for awhile!

Argh!
