Aaron was doing so well following his surgery that they decided to let him come home on Thursday evening (the day following surgery). Although this was much sooner than expected, we thought it was wonderful news. Aaron later didn't think so! Transitioning from the nerve block in his leg, which they removed when he left the hospital, to oral pain medication was tough. He had a very rough evening. But after a late night call to the doctor and some adjustments to the meds, he is doing much better. Last night he even managed on his crutches going up and down the stairs and had a nice visit with a friend! He came home with drains in his leg and a wound vac (the official name escapes me) which aids in the drainage. He also has to get a blood thinner shot once a day. That job has been delegated to Rick since he was out of the room when we learned of this duty :)
Please pray for Aaron as he will need to begin decreasing the pain medication dosage.

This is wonderful news. And it's a fantastic blog. What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteWow--I read through the whole thing and couldn't stop once I started. This is a wonderful testimony of both God's presence and provision throughout your experience with Aaron. God says in the book of Revelation that we are able to overcome "by the word of our testimony and the blood of the Lamb." You have given powerful testimony in your blog and I'm so grateful God prompted you to keep a journal of this. Thanks for sharing it with us : )
