George and I are home now from the er. They gave him som i.v. anibotics and fluids, and then gave us a script for oral meds. They weren't able to replace the tube because they didn't have the right size tube. But his infection seems to be only skin deep and he's not septic. so, they want us to follow up with the va, but the va were the ones who sent us to the er in the first place. And, I'm not sure I want to go through that back and forth. We'll focus on the skin infection, and take it from there. But, we do have to go to the va tomorrow and get the script filled. Medicine isn't always fast.

I'm glad that you and your husband are home now. I hope he recovers from the skin infection soon.

He will if he would let me clean the area clean.

@kaylachan Do whatever it takes to clean the area or the infection will worsen.

I feel his medical team might be over reacting. While they do have a right to be concerned, I know that infections are serious, but last night's trip only confirmed what I already knew.

Wow, like you said, a waste with the back and forth BS!! Stay on top of it and get him back to doctor if it doesn't appear to be clearing up in a couple of days!!

I am just now reading this update. Glad you both got home that day . . . .but oh how frustrating. ER already took your time - the back and forth just takes more time. I'll look for the next update.

I can see how you might be a bit frustrated with this. I'd be too.

The one thing we there for, they weren't interested. It's like they didn't seem concerned, because George's stoma site looked worse then his bloodwork showed.

That really sucks but at least the infection is not deep. I hope it heals soon and hopefully meds are delivered fast too.

Nothing is as fast as we want them to be.
