check the culture more tomorrow and make sure there isn't anything

mouth during surgery and it has NOTHING to do with my cleaning or

anything else we've done at home.

Just FYI. Sounds like we are on the right track.

I am hopeful the medication responds well. Even if you do have to go

the shot route. See, you are doing fine. I know it is gross, but

you are doing a great job with it.
