Pat Update

Pat had his 2nd appt with the orthopedic surgeon on Monday. He cleared him to start PT this coming Monday for the next 4 to 6 weeks. His wound is now healed shut and the surgeon is having him use his boot now. He can walk around a little more with that and just use one crutch. He got his wound vac off last week and last Frid was our last day for our home nurse that had to come in every other day to change the dressing. He still has the picc line in and I give him IV antibiotics just once a day. He meets with the infectious disease Dr this Friday and we're hoping that he will be done with the picc line and just go to oral antibiotics. Things are starting to look up! We're praying that with the PT he can get enough strength back on his own that we won't have to have any more surgeries. We'll keep you all updated on his progress!
