Foot problems

Today, the doctor's aspirated some of the fluid in dad's very swollen foot to determine the problem. They ruled out gout...but figured it was some kind of infection in his foot. That seems to fit into the puzzle of his slight fever yesterday and VERY painful ankle. His doctor sent the fluid to the lab to see exactly which antibiotic was needed to wipe out the infection. Dad has been on antibiotics the entire hospital stay, but obviously a different one is needed to kill the germs affecting his foot problems. Heidi and I will be back tomorrow evening for another foot massage if he doesn't have any complains. Love you dad!
