Monday morning was a very tense time for those of us here at McClendon Villa. David had an appointment at wound care at 9am at the hospital about 30 miles away from our home. All week, we’ve had a possible hospital admission and, potentially, a lower leg amputation hanging over our heads.
Many of you have prayed for David’s healing and for him to not have to be admitted to the hospital. Well, your prayers have been partly answered. While his foot hasn’t healed yet, it didn’t look any worse and he was able to avoid an admission to the hospital at this time.
Instead, the doctor has ordered a wound vac. We have two choices with this (outside of an admission). One choice is home health and the other is going to wound care 3 days a week.
The home health company in our area has smokers for employees and I have COPD. They have also proven to be incompetent otherwise, with one exception. That particular exception was a great woman to work with. She was friendly, caring, competent, AND a non-smoker. But, we believe that she moved on to another type of nursing soon after David was released from home health last time. So, we have chosen to go three days a week to wound care at the hospital 30 miles away.
This isn’t the cheapest route, but appears to be the best one for both of our health. We know the majority of the wound care workers to be competent (some are too new for us to judge yet).
Please pray that we will find a way to afford these trips back and forth to wound care and are able to follow through until David’s foot is healed.
Thank you to all of you that have prayed for him. Please keep praying! The prayers are working and he WILL be healed.
Have a blessed week!

That is good news and I'm praying the wound care 3 times a week will heal him completely!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Ellen. We appreciate it very much. We're waiting now for the wound vac to be delivered, though we have no clue what time they'll be bringing it today.
