We made it home from San Antonio safely... eyeballs got poked and peered into, and we had some goooooood TexMex before we left.
Evening all - Ramius is holding steady at last word, still waiting on the doctor to read his CAT scan tonight, hoping it shows that there are no other internal areas of infection that need surgery. Hopes are that the IV antibiotics are all he will need to get it under control. He could get really sick in a hurry if it doesn't get under control.
My dad and I think this is very similar to a glandular infection I had a few years ago that went a little nuts and is hard to get to with antibiotics. I felt better right away once I got in and they opened it up, but I was on the antibiotics a long time before they were sure it was dead.
