I don't know MinuteGal, and I'm not a doctor, but the words "surgery" and "infection" trigger something in my mind. In the last couple of years, it has become clear how important blood sugar control is in the management of infection, especially where surgery is concerned. If MinuteGal is the least bit diabetic, she should get her blood sugar under control with insulin to heal her infection before surgery, and to prevent worse infections following surgery. High doses of vitamin C (10 grams/day) are also useful.
Best wishes to MinuteGal.

I was just going to suggest the same thing. Sugar feeds an infection. Carbs = sugar to the body. Protein, green veggies, I hope are what you can get, and pro-biotics (acidopholous, etc.). Prayers up to Our Dear Lord, Leni .. for you and the skill of your docs to stop this thing now. God bless you.
