Thanks to all of you for writing with your suggestions. I had no idea this was such a problem. But I guess I'm not surprised, if there is an infection to be gotten as a quad we will get it.
I haven't had to go to the hospital yet because the tissue infection is getting better with oral ABX. However, the bursitis colitis is still an issue and he will drain it once more and either use steroids or operate if it doesn't go away. They don't let you have an IV at home here, too much liability. Thanks again and People lets take care of our elbows!!!! Meredith
