I was able to return home, but om modified bedrest, on friday. Yesterday had first doctor appointment and unwrapping of dressings to inspect site. Thank God the graft is almost completely taking hold! Healing is continuing at home. I can walk around and slowly increase use and range of motion but with lots of down time and elevation. So thankful to be home! Maureen started her daily nursing duties with dressing change this eve.

Skin graft update: did have a bleed through last night from the donor site. The nurses did a great job of reinforcing the dressing. He is on complete bedrest for 2 days to get the grafting to adhere a little before he goes home and even then he will be much more restricted on activity. We sure appreciate all who have been praying.

After a 2 hour surgery the harvesting of the donor site for the grafting is done. With only compression to keep that sizable area intact he will be down for a while. Thanks for the prayers on his behalf. He will be here st Bryan east for at least 24 hours maybe more.
