Well, its been 2 days and we have news/updates of our lives at the hospital and doctor's office:

August16--Josh Dr. Appt. to clean/change IV bandage in morning and blood tests. Kari went back into hospital for a recheck of her skin infection. It was a lot worse and they lanced open an abscess. She is now on IV antibiotics once a day. She is doing pretty well with it all but it's starting to wear us all down. The kids really like their dad home during the day. Now that Kari is on IV's, we really can't go to the Anderson family reunion in Logan. We arranged for Colton to go with his cousin Nash, Andy & Brooke's family so he packed up and left this evening with Andy.

August 17--Josh had another Dr. Appt. this am, this on with the wound care clinic. The hole in my arm is healing up nicely. Kari is changing the wrap and packing it at home every morning for me. They are keeping my IV's at twice a day so I give them at home at 7 & 7. The pharmacy restocks my supplies once a week. After Josh's appt., we took Kari into the hospital for her IV infusion. They checked her wound and it's still really red, inflamed, and angry. They have her on daily IV's until the wound is better then switch to oral meds. Today we were at doctors for 8 hours total. Luckily my mom came and took the kids for us about noon. She is a great blessing and help as we are getting tired and lots of things getting out of hand. We wish we were at the reunion, hope all is well, I see there are thunderstorms and rain in the forecast, hope the campers are all well. Love Josh
