Current Situation
The outcome of the recent OR trip shows no further infection in the other leg and that was the only news that we needed at this time. He has hopefully only one more trip back to the OR to ensure the other wound is infection free, prior to closing. they have restarted the dialysis to now work on his kidneys. All other tests, i.e., on his heart, show that the infection is not spreading so if he, along with the broad spectrum antibiotics, can maintain this status, things are looking a little brighter tonight. I feel somewhat relieved for the first time in days but also know that he is no where near a safe zone yet so I can't let my guard down. Tomorrow is a coasting day as they are not planning to go back to the OR until Thursday. Once again, thanks for all the kind words of support and I'm off to get a much needed full night sleep, hopefully!

Barb,
ReplyDeleteI'm so relieved, and I will now sleep much better as well!
Hi Barb-
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this tonight- I've been thinking of all of you since our courtyard chat. Please tell Craig that the 'speedracer' says hi...yet another lab insider phrase! :-) So nice to meet your husband as well.

I am relieved to hear the infection has not spread further and esp. not to his heart. Sounds like you all deserve a 'coasting' day to regroup, breathe and gain strength for the next surgery on Thursday. Thank you for taking the day to enter these posts, they are a wonderful tool.
ReplyDeletethinking of you as always.
love,
Heather
