Pearl has really dry skin and has scratches and scabs all over her body from scratching. Even though she was given a double dose of anti-scratch medicine, Eric said she scratched all last night. Pearl has an area on her shoulder about 4 inches long that she has scratched until it bleeds, it then scabs over and she scratches it again until it bleeds. The doctor now thinks that the infection entered from this area. But again, we need to wait until we get the cultures back today.
Our regular doctor has already visited this morning. We are now waiting for the hospital doctor to visit. It will be key for Pearl to keep down her breakfast this morning in order to start the process of being released. But those culture results seem to hold the key.
We are off to the hospital now.
