OK, well things are moving along and he is about to have surgery on his rear end to make it a little smother so it does not get so irritated from sitting. Also is going to get a skin flap behind his right knee where he has had to keep it open because of the burn scaring. It’s kind of like another skin graph.
They just did an ultrasound on his leg where the clot has been and should find out if it’s still there or gone now. When this first started he was going to be on coumadin (blood Thinner) for 3 months and if he gets good news on the clot then he can stop taking the coumadin.
His left leg and foot still no more improvement and it just may not come. There are a couple of metal fragments right up against his nerve root and does not know if they will remove them or if it’s too dangerous. Don’t want to remove and lose all ability to move his left leg. Right now he can walk and it’s painful and he still can’t move the foot, but he can at least walk and use it. Getting back to 100% is looking like something that will not happen at this point, but you never know.
They are also about to reverse his colostomy next month so things are moving along still.
I want to thank all of you for your support and prayers since this happened on Dec. 22nd. It means more than you know!
