This is how my finger looked on Saturday morning. It's not as swollen or red now. The redness is cellulitis which ran up to my armpit. It is mostly all faded now. |
I feel fine with the exception of my finger that is swollen and hurts at the wound site that is just over a joint.
The infectious disease dr. tells me only one of the two blood culture vials shows bacteria, so it may be a case of the vial being contaminated, We will know what the culture results are tomorrow. If the clean vial still shows no infection in my bloodstream I will go home. If not, I will be here until it is clear. Please pray that I don't have an infection in my blood stream. I very much want to go home and be with my family and rest knowing that my baby's life isn't in jeopardy.
All this because I somehow closed the car door on three of my fingers and one got cut in the process! Watch where your hands are when you close your car doors!
Oh Karen! I'm praying! How awful and scary your situation must be.
ReplyDeleteprayers for you and your lil' one.

ReplyDeleteHang In there, Karen, praying for you and your baby and your whole family,
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I am so sorry Karen! I did the same thing, and I was out of work since it was my trigger finger. But I didn't need antibiotics. That's terrible! Prayers will be coming your way.
