Dr. Lee was in surgery much longer than he anticipated and became so late that he left w/out remembering to call me back. I insisted that they try to reach him and they got him on his cell phone and he said "Oh no! I forgot to call her! Please apologize for me." Since he's always been so good and prompt w/returning my calls, I'll give him a pass. This time.

After Puddy's subQ treatment and a dose of Clindamycin, she cried a little bit and seemed to not want me to leave her, so I sat w/her a while and she fell asleep. Every time I checked on her, she was curled up instead of being in the praying or meatloaf position, so I consider that to be a good sign. I have an 8:30 AM appt. w/Dr. Lee tomorrow to check her BUN level and creatinine. He said that he wants to be sure that she isn't getting worse and to continue w/the Clindamycin til her appt. She came downstairs w/the rest of us and she laid on my chest for a little while, another good sign. So, hopefully, her lab tests will come back ok. My finances really don't want this hit right now but it is what it is, so what am I gonna do? Count my blessings, I guess. She's improving and so is my son.
