My co-worker's (very elderly) mother was in and out the hospital for months with cellulitis last year. I don't know that she's ever really recovered. Everyone stay clean, and be sure he follows all of the doctor's orders!
Wow...didnt know it was this serious! Gosh...take good care of him and watch him like a hawk. Praying none of the awful things happen and the medications work their magic and he bounces back really fast.
