It's been a steady few weeks for Chris - he had his 21st trip to the
OR last Thursday where they put a skin graft over his midline incision.
This was a big step for Chris - and we're praying for good results from
the doctors this week! His actual wound is closing in very nicely, and
wound care is consistently impressed with how fast it's healing in.
Pretty soon, we'll be ready for our "waiting period" at home where Chris
will wait for 6-7 months until his final surgery. He is still in some
pain with the wound, the area on his leg where they pulled the skin
graft, and constant bladder spasms and horrible headaches. It's
difficult for him to get rest in the hospital, so he's looking forward
to coming home. Chris has a lot going on with his body, and he says he
appreciates specific prayers for some relief of pain during this time of
healing.
Chris and I celebrated Independence Day at the hospital, and my
parents were able to bring the dogs by to visit with "Daddy" for a few
minutes outside. Chris was SO excited to see his boys...we sure do love
our fur-kids. :)
One of the most difficult lessons we've learned through all of this
is the natural roller coaster of dealing with trauma. The doctors tell
us these "surprises" are ups and downs, we say they are just side steps.
:) Either way, Chris' body is STILL healing every single day and we can
remain confident in this. We will continue to see the GOODNESS of the
Lord.
- Jamie and Chris
