Kori,
I'm not sure where people are getting told that I had  cellulitis. I had a 
cyst on my leg that enlarged quickly. I went to a walk in  clinic and had it 
drained. Then within 9 hours I went to the ER. I was tested  and found that 
I had a staph & mrsa infection and it had moved into my  blood stream. I 
told the doctor that I thought I was going to die, she said if  I would have 
waited to come in even another 6 hours I most likely would have.  This was a 
serious illness that I have been fighting for 6 weeks now. I spent  6 nights 
at Halifax Hospital, two in ICU. I was home healing for 2.5 weeks  then I 
was hospitalized at Winnie Palmer for four nights. Now all is looking  good. 
I have finished my IV antibiotics and have a follow up with the  infectious 
disease doctor in Orlando this week. I might be back to work on  Monday. 
Only time will tell.

Thank you for thinking about me! This is  what really happened.

I had  cellulitis and phlebitis alternately in both legs from time to time 
years ago  and would get flare-ups every several months, but haven't had a 
flare-up in  three years, praise God! Congratulations on having a baby girl! 
I had no idea  you were expecting! That's wonderful! My prayers are with you.

>> As many of you know, I was hospitalized  in July for an absess on my 
leg. Dad describes it as someone cut a canalop in  half and tucked it under the 
skin on my inner thigh. Well, after 6 days in  Halifax, I came home on IV 
antibiotics. Two weeks later I was in the ER at  Halifax to get more 
antibiotics. One week after that, I was in Orlando at  Winnie Palmer because me leg 
was getting worse not better. Well, today I'm  headed back to Orlando to 
have a follow up with the infectious disease doctors  who saw me at Winnie 
Palmer. On Sunday, I finished one of two IV antibiotics  and have a strong idea 
that I will be put back on that med today. My leg is a  lot more red and 
very tender today. It started yesterday afternoon, I guess. I  hate that the 
baby has been exposed to so many meds in the past 5+ weeks, but  I need to be 
healthy when I deliver my little girl.
>> For those who  have been praying for me, thank you. Keep them coming, I 
need everyone I can  get.
>> I have been out of work now since July 12 and I hope to go  back for a 
couple of weeks after I heal but before I deliver.
>> It's  been a long hard road. Thank God for such good friends who call 
and check on  me, who take care of my little man while I'm in the hospital and 
those who  just pray.
>> Dad has been a great help too. He has been staying with  me, assisting 
with the IVs, getting Jacy to school, doing the shopping and  other running 
around. He has also making sure I don't miss a meal.
>>  Thank you all,
>> Holly
