Today is the 40th day that dad is out of the system with 20 days to go. Yesterday he had an appointment with the wound care doctor, he has some break downs to his skin from being the bed. The doctor was very upset because in a week’s time it has gotten worst. The one on his tailbone has gotten bigger, it draining more now and it is beginning to have an odor. He would need surgery but the doctor doesn’t think that doctor is strong enough or healthy enough to go through surgery. So will have to take the slower approach by changing the dressing every day, using this cream that will start removing the dead tissue, he will have to stay off of his back, the doctor has also ordered dad a new bed. When the bed is on, dad will be floating on the bed which will make it easier to turn him; there will be no pressure on his body.
Mom and I get so discouraged, we are doing all we can and most of the time we feel that we should be doing more. With a brain injury, when you get one thing working something else goes out of whack. Pray for us that God continues to give mom and I wisdom in helping dad get to the best that he can be and believe with us for a miracle. God says in his Word in Ephesians 3:20-21 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, work without end. Amen.”
