Update on Ron

He is home now! It seems they have a good hold on the infection as his blood tests came back within the "normal" range. They put in a central/PIC line that goes directly to his heart before he left the hospital so that he could continue with IV antibiotics every 7 hours. An option care nurse comes out every other day and checks his IV site as well as changes the dressing and brings more antibiotics.
He is such a trooper, the healing process has taken forever and he is still not completely out of the woods for losing parts of his foot. I guess this is the hard truth about being diabetic. Nothing is taken for granted when you have had the disease for so long and for too long it has been untreated.
Just keep him in your prayers, thanks to everyone for their thoughts, help and prayers.
