Nice shot, Miroslava! LF Wound care Doc still thinks I will lose foot.but gave me a two week appointment to continue trying IV antibiotics and topical treatment in the meantime. Infectious Disease doc said the day before that he saw some improvement and gave a four week return appointment,which led both my sis and I to think it will get better. I saw improvement how it had looked just Monday this week. Go figure!!Hoping and praying that God will continue to heal me, of course. Please ramp up the prayers!
