My mom got bit 4 times on her right hand and arm by one of her cats last Tuesday evening. By the next morning her arm and hand were infected. Her doctor put her on an antibiotic and pain pill. Despite taking the meds her arm swelled up really bad. She is now in the hospital on IV antibiotics. She is 80 yrs old and has diabetes, high blood pressure, and epilepsy so already has issues.

Update: the broad-spectrum IV antibiotic is slowly working. She may be able to go home today or tomorrow if the swelling continues to go down and if her blood pressure stays down. The pain medicine is working somewhat but when it doesn’t (yesterday she took a nap & woke up in pain) her BP shoots up really high as does her blood sugar.
