EDITED Saturday TO UPDATE -- Just saw Kristy at the hospital. She said she feels like she's already doing 50% better. The extreme pain is gone and it's now just discomfort and manageable pain. They have her on IV antibiotics so that seems to be doing the trick. But the doctor said she'd be there until all the redness goes away - so several days, I'm sure. She also has a new cell phone that's suppose to get her online, so hopefully once she figures out how to use it, we'll see her here.

-----------------

I just got off the phone with Kristy. The infection area has grown by 4 more inches today and the pain is just too much, so she "took herself" to the ER this evening. They are just waiting to get her room ready so she can get settled. She sounded like she was in good spirits, lots of pain and concern, of course... but seemed glad there were drugs on the way.

She's at Bay Medical Center in Bay City and hoping to go see her tomorrow after lunch.

I'll keep ya'll posted as I know more.

I'm so relieved she's there, she really needs IV antibiotics right now.

Pass on my best wishes to her and thanks for the update Pam .
