Well, the four of us are home for the evening. Ken's culture results from the ER visit on Wednesday evening were supposed to be back today, but they didn't arrive - they ought to come Monday instead. They did not find any complications with the clot in his arm when they did the Doppler. They are now running multiple antibiotic IV meds in hopes of getting things turned around. The doctor took the packing out tonight. He cleaned the wound and re-dressed it. If Ken responds to the medications, he could be discharged on Monday, but it won't be sooner than that.
In the meantime, we will brace for an ice storm expected to reach our community during the night tonight. If it is as they forecast, we won't be leaving home tomorrow to go see him.... In fact, we won't be going much of anywhere. We will keep you posted on how things are going. Thanks again for your warm wishes and prayers!

Welcome home! You are in our prayers, Ken, for a complete and speedy recovery. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Get well....school can wait. Thank you, Michelle for keeping the blog current. I don't know how you are doing it with all that you have going in your life. Take care of yourself. Hopefully the weather will clear today and not hinder your connections to Kearney.
