A New Wrinkle

Again time has passed quickly. Saturday was a very bad day for Melissa. She had the epidural pulled. There were no pain meds in place for when it wore off. It took a while to catch up then. Dad and I stayed until midnight. She was finally falling asleep then. Sunday was a little better. She walked and sat in the chair quite a bit. Today they changed the wound vac. It is a very painful process. The doctor is pleased with how it looks. The wound care nurse says that the top part looks like it is getting small enough that it won't need the sponge much longer.

The new wrinkle is Melissa has a small blood clot in her arm around the picc line. They will increase her dosage of heperin into her belly. She never sems to do things the easy way.

Thank you for your prayers. I don't think we could get through this without God's help.
