Yesterday morning we noticed that Andrew's sternal incision had opened up a little at the bottom. Then in the evening when changing the dressings on his chest tube sites, we noticed those also looked a little more opened up. That earned us a quick trip over to see the surgical nurse practitioner for her to check. Those areas were already looking better than the pictures we took yesterday, so we will keep following instructions to care for them at home. Yay for not needing to add wound care to the mix!
Andrew was happy to get out of the house anyways. He had total control of the radio / DVD system.
The brick building on the left is Arnold Palmer Hospital & the glass one on the right is Winnie Palmer Hospital. I just think this is such a sweet legacy. Husband & wife hospitals where so many families like us have know the best care we could hope for for our precious children.
Andrew is moving around the house with our help (less & less). He's also eating and drinking better. Still has a way to go to get back to his former activity level and then hopefully beyond. Weaning the one medication has bothered him, but we are also eager to ditch it so we are hoping to find the right balance to keep him moving in the right direction. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support! We are so very blessed to have an amazing support system!
