From Kathy:
What a difference 13 days makes. Today they took the dressing off his left leg to see if the muscle and skin grafts took and they were pleased to see how good it looked. It will be another month he said before we are out of the woods from the muscle standpoint but God has been with us and were in a brighter place today. They will start dressing it daily now and he might get to move to the rehab floor soon. He is still in a lot of pain but healing is taking place. We are so lucky! From the bone standpoint its going to take awhile because we have been told no weight on it for at least 6 months but the bone is doing well for as fractured as it was. The foot issue will be our next concern because it has a lot of nerve injury but it won’t be addressed until the leg is fixed. Please continue to pray for healing and that infection stays away. Today he was able to get in a wheelchair for about 10 minutes twice and he liked that. It was good to see him out of the bed and not hooked up. Thanks to everyone who has prayed for him but please continue. We have a lot of recovery to do. I can’t wait to get him home at some point. Kathy
It’s encouraging news! Keep on praying!! And for future updates you can follow a blog for Andrew here 🙂
