Back in November we noticed a sore on Erinn's left foot, it didn't want to go away so Carolyn took her to the doctor who gave her something to treat eczema.
The sore persisted and turned into this with another sore showing up her other foot.
Just before leaving on our holiday she suddenly broke out in this rash covering her entire body.
Lastly her hands broke out in these large blisters that looked more like a 3rd degree burn then what they really were; herpes!
The day we got home from Saskatchewan Carolyn took her to the hospital where 3 doctors poked and prodded her finally deciding to keep her in the hospital until they could determine what exactly she had, at one point they even talked about sending her to Calgary. They admitted her that night and finally by Wednesday they figured she had a combination of things but no clue how she got it, mean while a couple more doctors came in to have a look and give their thoughts on what she had. The sore on her foot developed into a MRSA Staph Infection, as well as having a Strep Infection and finally the cold sores that resulted in blisters all over her hands and feet. Erinn ended up spending a week in the hospital, not fun!
Carolyn & I ended up taking turns staying at the hospital with her until this past week when she finally got out and we sent her to the farm for the week.
On Friday she came home looking much better then the week before, she still has tender feet and hands but definitely on the mend!
