Sharon: So glad to hear the good news. It sounds

just like my husband when he went in with the bad UTI

early in October; infection, bedsore, etc. THe only

difference, he wasn't able to get up and walk or feed

himself, although he ate pretty well when I fed him.

The intravenous antibiotic IVs really work pretty fast

in getting the infection under control. Was he

dehydrated as well?

Thanks for keeping us all apprised.
