Carol was released from the hospital yesterday evening. She's getting nurses to come to her house every day to check on her. Lynn is staying with her now. (Adrienne went to Michigan to celebrate Bart's birthday today. Happy Bday, Bart!) Lynn was taught how to administer IV antibiotics every 12 hours and change the bandage on Carol's hip, where the infection started. Carol was pretty wiped out between the pain from the PICC line (where the IV goes in), the pain from her right knee (the one that still needs to be replaced), the car ride (which jostles her), fighting the infection for a week+, and just generally getting no sleep in the hospital.
But we're so glad she can be at home and we hope get rested up and stronger. We hope to visit this weekend if she is up for seeing people.
On an unrelated note, Lena should find out tomorrow what part she gets in Willy Wonka Jr. and rehearsals start Monday. Her grandpa plans to drive to Champaign tomorrow for the rescheduled birthday celebration.
Not much else of interest happening here.
Lots of love!
Chris
