Husband's Leg: An update (WARNING COLOR PICTURES AT THE BOTTOM)

Here we are... 7ish weeks in... Husband is doing OK... still having to elevate his leg most days (aka bed rest) but he has started golf this week (coaching therefore cart riding) and been up and about a little more than before... here is one of his last vac change days... Miss B and Sky came with us and Miss B had about enough of the waiting room after 45 min. Sweet Janie said she could come and "help". I tell yah... this RN is a GIFT....





AND SPEAKING of RN's that are and HAVE a GIFT!

"Aunnie Lynne" will have come the last two Sundays (after tomorrow) to change Husband's dressing. It is just not something I can do. Wait on him hand and foot ~ sure. Take care of his babies ~ yep. Care for his home ~ OK. Tend to the garden ~ I'll do my best. Deal with blood and guts. NO THANKS. I am SO SO SO grateful for this girl, her training, her willingness and the part when she saw the wound for the first time... she cried. Because she didn't know how bad it was, how much we had REALLY been going through and how awful it was for Husband... When it came down to doing the "work" girlfriend was ALL biz-ness. :)
 
The pictures below are NOT black and white and are from Friday. Our prayer right now is that when he sees the Dr. Tuesday, (who has been on va-ca this past week) she will tell us he is good to go for his skin graft surgery on Thursday... pray with us will you?
