Well, Marcus is home from Texas. On Saturday I picked him up from the airport and he was in SO much pain. His leg was swollen, he had a fever and he was breathing really heavy, which scared me. Honestly, I was so overwhelmed at the prospect of what was to come. I knew Marcus would be in pain, but I had no idea how much.
On Sunday our friend Ashley came over to bring us some food and to hang out for a bit. Marcus' tongue had started to swell and he had blisters all over his leg. She suggested we call our friend Christina, who is a nurse. Marcus spoke to her about his symptoms and she told us to go to the ER as soon as possible. So Ashley took Buddy and we headed there. After 24 hours in the hospital he was released. He had an infection in his leg, a blood clot in his arm, and an allergic reaction to his pain meds.
Marcus is still in a lot of pain, but he seems to be doing a lot better each day. We are now trying to figure out where to go from here with an ortho and physical therapy. He will hopefully have some coverage medical-bill-wise, and I am hoping he will be in a cast this week so he can return to school. He is really upset about not being able to go to school right now and hoping that he will be able to return this semester. I know everything will be okay, and it is in Gods hands but please pray for Marcus! Who knew broken bones sucked this bad?? haha.
~Love to all
