Norman is in the hospital. Dr. Gardner put him in there today. Last week when we were at Spring Valley Beach, we walked up to the big slides and he walked barefooted on the hot pavement. It blistered the bottom of his feet on the balls and one of his big toes. The big toe got the worst of it. The skin came off later that day at the pool and it got infected. It is swolen and red-ish purple. 2nd degree burn. He also had a red streak starting up his foot, blood poisoning? So, they have him on IV antibiotics and waiting on surgical consult to see what they will need to do to that toe. We know nothing yet. I had been doctoring it the best I could with peroxide and neosporin, bandaides, gauze, etc.
Diabetics are known to have feet problems and difficulty healing from infections. Let's hope he heals quickly!
