Better news today

They finally figured out what kind of infection she has...it is a rare bacterial infection that I think was called "stephanomonas" and they had to have an infection specialist come in and verify their findings...Dr. Lee wasn't sure of the correct dosage for antibiotics and had to wait to have that verified as well.
So finally about 3 this afternoon they decided Mom could leave the hospital. Joyce and I were there so we helped her get her stuff together and by 4:30 we were out of there. Really she is feeling pretty well and was so thankful she could go home.
Kasey and Jessika had games tonight so I left Mom and Joyce back at home, dropped off her prescriptions and went to the games. Afterward we headed back to Mom and Dad's and brought some crockpot stew with us and got to enjoy a final meal with Joyce who is headed home tomorrow after a week here...Mom was pretty disappointed that she had to spend 3 days in the hospital while Joyce was here, but nothing we could do about it. I tried to keep her as occupied as I could. :)
Anyway, we are taking her up to the airport tomorrow then back to see Dr. Lee on Friday for a check up and to set up a time for the port to be "installed". Looks like this infection is only going to set us back about 2 weeks which all in all isn't so bad.
