Danny's Skin Infection

Danny was playing racquetball last Thursday and fell and hurt his knee. On Friday he had a fever and a lump under his lower knee. He was feeling miserable and by Sunday he knew it was infected so he went to urgent care, they gave him antibiotics and sent him home. The next evening he was in so much pain and the infection had spread so he went back to urgent care. They gave him an I.V. and stronger antibiotics and sent him home. By Tuesday his infection had spread down to almost his ankle and his friends told him to get to the hospital (in Vegas of course). He went to a hospital in Vegas and was admitted for two days. Danny was treated for Cellulitis (a general term for a skin infection). Because Danny had no open wound (which is rear) they needed to make sure the antibiotics were working before letting him go home. We are glad he's back home and is recovering well. A big thanks to all our friends for there help, concern, love and prayers!
