hospitalized

Just a quick update to say that Myra is in the hospital once again. Seems she has her infection back, if it ever left. Doctors seem to think the infection comes from the dialysis port.

She's been quite lethargic over the weekend and has eaten very, very little due to a loss of appetite. She was to see a doctor this Wednesday but her nursing staff at the nursing home contacted her doctor to describe symptoms and he instructed her to get in the hospital.

When she recovers, she will go back to the nursing home. She's very weak and therapy isn't going as well as she would hope. She tires out so quickly. In my humble opinion, her weakness is partially due to this infection that never goes away, but becomes treated enough that she can no longer be hospitalized. It's a big, bad cycle for her.
