Grandma on antibiotics

Today they found that Grandma's staples on her hip are infected. They put her on a very strong antibiotic and she had her first dose tonight. Other than the fact that she'd like to go to the bathroom on a regular toilet she's doing well. She has an appt with her doctor on Wednesday. The doctor will do x-rays to see how her hip is healing. Say your prayers that the bones are healing properly. We are hoping that everything is going well in there and that we can get the Dr. to allow the nursing home to use the standing lift. This will allow her a bit more independence in her night time duties. I think she's getting a little depressed about being so helpless. I told her to keep her thoughts up and to be patient. Healing will take time. I'll be going to visit her tomorrow night. Sylvia will go with her to the Dr. appt on Wednesday. I'm out of town this weekend so hopefully others can get to visit Grandma on the weekend.
