Please pray/send good wishes to my sister Helen...

My sister (only sib) thought she was miserable bc of getting covid/flu vax together as some du'rs have reported. Went to doctor.

Unfortunately she was informed.. she's got a deep skin infection that she went and got antibiotics for yesterday.
She hopes to wake up feeling better - but probably will go to ER (doc recommended if esp no change etc) in the morning for
intravenous medicine.

So please pray that she, and her blood stays free from sespis (a possibility, looked up) and that she recovers fully . Sooner I hope than later.

TIA

For a fast and thorough recovery for your sister.

My brother just had one in his leg. He gets them every so often, and this was the first time they didn’t start him on IV antibiotics in the hospital. They sent him home on Ciprofloxacin. He was amazed that in about 4 doses, he started seeing improvement.

every time she's ill. I hope Helen will be feeling much better today and will be able to recuperate completely - and quickly - at home. It's a good thing that the skin infection was caught before she had to be hospitalized.

We come from 90+ yrs family and I'd like to turn 94 1/2 so I can celebrate her 🎂 90th. (powers willing) 👍

I'm the worrier, so I know how that feels. May your sister have a nice long run of good health!

I'll try not to cry when I see her.

Luckily the hospital is near her apt building. 👍
