Here We Are Again

This is as close to a smile as we are going to get.

 

It has actually been more swollen than this

It is Sunday night about 7:30 p.m. and Kyle and I are sitting in his room at the Logan Regional Hospital. I was busy all day yesterday so Kyle was in Salt Lake with his parents trying to relieve some of the boredom of always sitting around the house. His foot started to smell so his mom took him into InstaCare. They said he had infection and his kidneys weren't looking great. They gave him some IV antibiotics and left the port in so he could go back and get more on Monday. Today we got a call that someone else had looked at his test results and that he had infection in his bone and his kidneys were in big trouble. We were to get him to the ER as soon as possible for more aggressive treatment.

So now he has been admitted. They said he has an oozing bone infection and his kidneys are failing again. We have a new foot doctor and he said he will be operating at some point to remove the plate from Kyle's foot and then we are looking at 8 to 9 weeks of IV antibiotics. At that point we will decide if it is necessary to put it back in. The kidneys are being treated with fluids and hopefully will turn around and improve like they did the last time. If anyone can help me see the blessing in this one let me know. I'm looking for the bright side.
