Health Update 6/24/24
Wow it has been 17 days since the last update. Well, we have been busy and the health side has been relatively quiet. Thank God. John and Amanda are here along with Anaiah and Isaiah. They have brought joy and delight and lots of distraction. Well yes, I did burn the scones. And it is difficult to focus on keeping up a health regimen with water and supplements when crazy kids are running around trying on my dresses (yes Nana’s dresses are preferred) and picking blueberries outside. They need supervision with these activities you see. Haha!
However, since Michael’s drain exchange on May 28th the left one has been leaking a lot of clear fluid. So much so that we have had to come up with creative ways to keep it from leaking. This means the dressing needs to be changed twice a day rather than every 3rd day. The other problem with this is that the skin around the drains has become irritated, from being so damp. It could be a recurrence of the yeast infection, or something else. Then 2 days ago Michael started having urinary pain again. And then a small fever last night. On Saturday I had called our new interventional radiologists here in town and talked to the on-call doc. He said they could look at it today, Monday. We are going to the new place to review the situation this afternoon at 3:15. We had been encouraged to deal with the leaking and not wait for our July 12th appointment by my ever-vigilant sister-in-law. Thank you! Early this morning we also went to the urgent care to take care of the emergent bladder infection. So he is on antibiotics, yet again!
So yes, prayer would be appreciated! Clarity for the doctors. Healing from infections and super infused spiritual reality immunity for Michael!
He doesn’t look sick. He looks handsome. He is combing his hair back like he used to.
We had planned an overnight trip to the Oregon coast today with our kids and grandkids to stay at an Airbnb together, but they had to go without us due to the complications. It is OK, the house seems so QUIET without them. That is not a bad thing if you are tired. And they are already sending pictures. The cousins are very much enjoying each other.
Thank you all so much!
