Not a good week either.

Well, Brian is still in the hospital, and there has been little improvement. He's on the antibiotics, and the redness has decreased a little, but the swelling is still about the same. There's been some swelling in his other leg, actually, and we're all a little confused as to why at this point, as cellulitis doesn't jump around the body like that. His fever is still present, and they're having problems controlling it. Sometimes I guess his temperature is almost normal, but I guess that there has been a few times where it's spiked to the point that Brian was almost hallucinating. Now he's developed a cough, which the doctors say is because of how much he's been lying down. They're trying ot get him sitting up more, but he's coughing so hard he's having a hard time keeping food down.
Keep him and the family in your thoughts. We're calling Susie tonight and if anything has changed I'll update.
Also, I got stuck with something sitting on the edge of one of the sharps containers at work on Valentines Day. There's a good chance that it was a needle, so I've been in contact with the needle stick response team and had a bunch of blood work done. I have to be retested twice, in 3 months, and again in six. So far it's okay, and the risks are low, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I'll keep you updated on this as required too.
Speaking of Valentines, how did it go for everyone? Duncan and I had a quiet evening at home (after we got home from the lab anyways), where we had dinner and some wine and watched a movie. He got me these beautiful leather-bound notebooks that I've been looking at forever. They're really nice.
Oh! Our car has an antifreeze leak again! We broke down on our way home from Saskatchewan after Christmas, and had to get a hose replaced on our radiator, and now we're leaking antifreeze again! We don't know from where exactly, but dad's going to look at it on Monday when we have a day off. Hopefully it's nothing serious!
