Updates of Preacher Fred's Progress

Thursday, September 9, 2010

Work it out

Since Fred has been home, he has not been able to much therapy.  His knee leaks blood and other fluids when he moves around.  His health care providers seem to think this is due to blood thinner medicine as well as his incision being closed with staples.  The doctor had to use staples instead of stitches because of the infection.  Antibiotics are pumped into Fred's body 24/7 through the PICC line.  Fred and Patsy are still trying to adjust to this method of antibiotics.  He will have to use this for at least six weeks.  Considering how long Fred has been sick, it has taken a toll on his strength and energy.  He isn't back to his old self yet, but he is making progress.  As always continue to pray.
