Ah, Ha! As I surmised. These cases are related. I am concerned because I have grandchildren living in that area of the country (SC). As children go, they are always cutting themselves.
I think my 98 year old mother had something similar last winter in CA. She cut her shin on her car door and nearly lost her leg because of it. She recovered ater a LOT of antibiotics and threats from her doctor. Now, she has broken her hip, and I am awaiting a phone call as to whether she will undergo surgery.
She is fortunate to have such sweet friends to help her with the babies. What a nightmare!
