Good morning ladies. I'm glad to report that Fiona was a bit better again. Apparantly, after the Xray and more test what she has at the minute is not pneumonia as it was first thought but a very particular type of chest infection the name of which I would not even attempt to spell out. It apparantly responds to a very specific antibiotic and although Perth didn't have any in their pharmacy they sent a taxi to Ninewells in Dundee for a supply and she is getting it intravenously. It is a ten day course but they hope if she responds well they will be able to send her home an a few days to finish the course with oral antibiotics.
The cards continue to arrive and she now has a handsome collection of handmade cards from all over the world which are the object of much admiration from the nurses. You have all been so kind and your good wishes and prayers have been such an encouragement to us both. Thank you so much.
William

Oh that's great news ... at least they know what they are dealing with and can target it with the right anti biotics. Hope fully they will kick in in the next couple of days - fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to both of you, and so happy things are a lot more positive

I am pleased to hear they've pinpointed her chest infection and can now treat it more specifically. Prayers are definitely being answered for you and hopefully Fiona will continue to get stronger and be home shortly! Her show of cards sounds quite spectacular!

More good news William. Really great that even though they didn't have the antibiotics they needed at Perth they could get some from Ninewells. Hopefully this'll help Fiona to shake off what must be a nasty chest infection. It's nice to hear that Fiona has so many bloggy friends. I'll need to get your address too.

If you find the time, could you please email me your home address as I would love to send a card to Fiona.

William it was great to read that they are finally getting on top of the chest infection and that the infection is clearing up well on Fiona's foot and heal. Sounds like everything may be turning a corner and with luck on your side Fiona may be home very soon.
