Odette

Odie is still in the hospital. There have been some complications from the surgery and from the fall. Somehow her elbow was injured in the fall and has become infected. She'll be having another surgery on her elbow.

Here's an excerpt from Roger's update:
Mom is still in the hospital. After last Friday's leg/hip surgery, she had a lot of pain in her left elbow. By Tuesday her arm and hand were very swollen. Thursday an infection was confirmed, and early this morning (Friday), surgery was performed to clean the infection from the elbow area. The current plan is for Mom to transfer to Bellbrook (a rehab facility that's a mile from Spartan Court) on Monday the 20th.
Doesn't it seem that bad things happen to the best people?
