The first visit was the infectious disease Dr. He's been having the nurse check her blood twice a week, and everything is looking good. Small improvements, which is what he expects. It will take time to get back to normal. He said she may get her Picc line out for a Christmas present, but don't hold him to it. If she does, it will be RIGHT before Christmas. She's still a little anemic, which he expected also, she just has to keep taking a vitamin with iron for a while. Her kidney function was good, Praise God!!!
Overall, news from the Ortho surgeon was good. He took the stitches out. Said things were coming along nicely. Wound looked good. Still doesn't want to use a wound vac, which would be soooo much easier.
Also, the nurse said we should be packing the wound 3 times a day instead of once. She said she told the home nurse, but it's the first we've heard of it. That's the biggest problem right now. One person cannot do it, and now we have to have help 3 times a day, OH NO!!!! We're busy enough as it is! But, you do what you gotta do.
We go back to see him in 3 weeks, and also see the Plastic Surgeon the same day, in the same building, Thank you Lord for small favors!!!!! He said they may or may not have to do the "flap" surgery, he may just want to watch it since it's healing so well. That's our prayer!!!
I just talked to hubby and we have a special prayer request. The terrible wreck down the street from us was Rob's friend's daughter. She has a broken back. Please pray for healing. Her name is Tina. She has a little baby to take care of. Pray for the other lady also, she's in much worse shape.
I think that's all for now. Gonna finish dinner and chill out till the next meds are due. Shopping (very little) and eating doughnuts wore us all out, lol!!!
Sarah is dressed and eating!! YAY!!!!!!
