Just spoke with Dr. Burton, what a relief to get that call and his good news. All tests came back with good results. They did an echocardiogram and blood tests; no damage to his heart, no bad indications with the blood tests. The infection is definitely bacterial, not viral; the diagnosis is still "cellulitis". He said that Garrett's leg was looking much better (according to the doctors at the hospital), and that he had just talked to Garrett and he sounded really good. They will probably release him tonight or tomorrow, and they'll keep him on strong antibiotics for a while until he's fully recovered. Dr. Burton said he will keep in close contact with him, and if the cellulitis flares up at all he'll most likely send Garrett to a more modern hospital.
A huge relief to hear all of that, what a blessing! So grateful for his improvements and that they are able to send him back to his apartment.
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers...
