I deleted the post about last August when my aunt went into the hosipital because her leg was severely infected and she has opened wounds on it and had to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks to get it healed and get better and then had to do out patient wound care well my aunt is back in the hospital. She found out a few weeks ago that she is a diabetic and that is why her legs swollen up. It's called elephant leg and it happens to diabetics.
She also has kidney disease and it's messed up currently. She has infection in her leg right now and it has wounds on it.
They took X-ray of her legs and they took CT of her lungs because down stares at the ER they suspected blood clot but upstairs said it's not there.
They are waiting on wound care to come look at it. Her breathing isn't the greatest.
They also stated that her heart was beating to fast. She has the colds and chills and get hot they also said she could also have a stomach infection but not sure of it. Just waiting on doctor's and testing oh she's also on antibiotics to try to fight and combat it.
I have her daughter just about every weekend and this time her daughter convinced her to go and she did. It all started as a call on Saturday that she wasn't doing well and it was ended up us rushing to see her. Friday she just told me that her legs were draining again and she had a red spot around her ankle and then Saturday she got worst and went on.
Last time they told her 3-4 days and she was up there for two weeks. This time they told her that and then today said she going tomorrow but I bet it'll be the 2 weeks.
She did PT today and they had her walking the halls.
She did spring it on us that she feels like there is more that no one is telling her and that we may have to take custody of her cousin in which as I said in the line above her daughter is here almost every weekend anyway.
May 26th- She said her heart and kidneys are now fine but they are still waiting on wound care. She is still hoping to come home today or tomorrow but it is up to the doctor to decide in which he decided to keep her a few more days to see how her leg is doing.
