Thursday morning update

Good Thursday to all!

This morning we're waiting to hear if Karen will come home today or perhaps tomorrow. Her blood work is low, but her doctor really doesn't want to give her a transfusion unless she just has too. Karen was going to bank her own blood but my situation caused her not to get it done. She's been up and about on the walker with her physical therapist and appears to be doing pretty well otherwise.

My situation pretty much remains unchanged. I'll be going to the wound clinic in HEB every Tuesday for them to check the foot and do whatever treatment they can. I'm still attached to the wound vac for the foreseeable future and still taking antibiotic infusions every 8 hours. The progress is slow and seems all uphill at the moment.

Many thanks to all the good people who have helped Karen and I in the midst of this hard time and too all who will continue to help in the future.

  1. Glad to hear progress even if it is not at the pace you want it.

    Prayers for both of you.

  2. Goodness, y'all lives are certainly complicated! We are here to help as are so many at BBC. Let's pray for a serene August where some of these situations can melt away in the healing heat.
    Promise that you won't post any pictures of your undressed foot or Karen's old hip. Some things are better left to the imagination!
    Love you both,
    Beth and John
