Got an update yesterday from her mom that "the second site is healing with a large 'gouge' ABOVE her bikini line where they cut it out. Dr. appt got changed to tomorrow so hopefully we'll learn more. she is totally nuts with studying right now and terribly annoyed with me for calling her repeatedly. It IS responding to clindamycin which would rule out the common resistant MRSA for Chicago but did not respond to didoxicil. She is getting new mattresses for Christmas, even though this wasn't on her Wish List. We will err on the side of caution." K. is a stunningly lovely girl, who was a nationally ranked diver in college, so I imagine the scar being above the bikini line meant a lot to her. I was thinking last night about risks-- how some people take them, and others are so cautious, they won't even travel out of their country. This family is an amazing one. There are five children. K is a twin. Her twin took a year during college and literally travelled around the world with an environmental program. She stayed with local people, on farms from England to Africa to Mexico; she climbed the Himalayas and visited an ashram (sp?), did all kinds of amazing things. Her departure date was just a week or two after 9-11. I don't know how my friend could watch her get on that plane. Although my friend for one birthday asked for a trip to Africa where she worked with mothers and babies (she has her degrees in Early Childhood Intervention). Last year she raised 40K through their church and delivered textbooks to Kosovo schools. K herself spent last year between college and grad school in Kosovo teaching English. And then she gets a scary condition right in the USA in Chicago. it's a good reminder that you really can't be safe or avoid life.
