Prayers and good thoughts on their way!

Dear PT friends,
I can't begin to thank each of you enough for your prayers, support, and positive wishes for Mom. I talked to her doctor yesterday. An incision from a previous brain surgery is badly infected so a minor procedure was done to clean the site and do a skin graft that hopefully will promote healing.Her doctor has her on IV and topical antibiotics. Doctor said the infection is between the scalp and skull so it hasn't invaded her brain. As for her arm, doctor said there's no indication that she had another stroke but that hasn't been ruled out. A neurologist and neurosurgeon have been called in to do a complete neurological workup and Mom's doctor has ordered a CAT scan. I plan to go up there to see her tomorrow and with good luck and timing be there when her doctor comes in. I'm praying for some kind of definitive answer within a day or two just so we know what we're dealing with. Not knowing and waiting for answers is the hardest part right now. It's easier to deal with this knowing that all of you are on our side. I'll be giving Mom all your prayers, hugs, and positive thoughts when I see her. Bless EACH of you!
