...just heard from my sister....they didn't amputate anything [yet] since the infection is [so far] incurable....the Drs. have given him an extra few weeks to decide what they are going to do - in the meantime, they are measuring how far along the infaction is in his leg.....sure doesn't make any sense to me...

However, they DID remove his big toe, and, from what I understand from my mom, it was a nasty sort of removal....
