Laura took Nana to see Dr. M again today. Towards the end of the exam, Dr. M decided she needed to go to the straight to the ER due to the pneumonia. Treating it at home just wasn't working. He called for an ambulance, which got her right in to a bed in the ER. Laura followed in Nana's car, and got to the hospital ahead of the ambulance. Nana was able to get a bed in the hospital after she and Laura spent around 4 hours in the ER.
I'm really stretching trying to remember what happened during this hospital stay. The only thing they could find about the red leg was that it was a reaction to being so swollen. If you're thinking staph, they didn't find any staph in her leg--it was in her nose, of all places. Nana got moved to the quarantine section of the hospital, and all visitors had to wear a gown and gloves.
She was feeling much better by the 16th, and was able to even spend some time outside in a wheelchair in addition to walking up and down the hall at the hospital.
