Fred's doctors visit went well today. The doctor took fluid from the knee to confirm the infection. Results should be back in the next one to three days. The doctor is hoping that he will be able to treat the infection through antibiotics. Depending on the results, he would like to treat the infection for at least six weeks before deciding if surgery is needed. Removing the knee would be the doctor's last resort.
Patsy also received an email back from a doctor at MUSC. This doctor is willing to look at Fred's knee if needed. This doctor stated that she has experience in treating Mycobacteria infections.
After the doctor visit and email from MUSC, Fred and Pasty feel much better. Hopefully we will know something within the next few days. Although it seems that we have been waiting for results on every post, it appears that we are getting closer to an answer. The family wants to thank everyone for their continuous prayers and they know that God is in control.
