Greetings to all of you and please continue to give thanks and praise the Lord!
Today has been another good day for Marty. She did have a one time sharp pain, like before the surgery, in her left breast last night. But, other than that, it has been just kind of a normal surgical pain which the pain medication seems to handle. The surgeon was pleased with the way it looked, even though there was still some redness, swelling, hardness, and a little warmth. She indicated that she would expect all of that at this time. But, Marty has not been running any temperature, the headache has still been gone, and the shoulder and neck have not been too bad today. She has eaten three full meals, walked the halls three times (so far), and has been doing a good job of drinking liquids. The bottom line, it’s been a good day and we Praise the Lord!
Now, the other side of the coin, is that the infection control doctor talked this morning to Marty about going home tomorrow and that she was to receive six days of IV antibiotics at home. The problem is, he wrote no orders for the same and did not talk to the case manager about making arrangements for the supplies. However, they said that sometimes his office makes arrangements and we have also heard that sometimes he does this with the intention that the patient will go to his office for the medication. So, at this point, we do not know what all this means and/or is leading up to. We guess we will find out in the morning. In the mean time, there is probably not anyway that Marty could be doing better, at this point, with what she has been through and has to yet go through. Praise and thanks be to God!
By the way, sorry about the snow that you have up north, we still see green grass down here with just a little white on it. We were to get an inch this morning and then 1 to 3 inches this afternoon but that sure didn’t happen. I feel so bad about that!
Well, I think that probably covers the water front for tonight. We will try to let you know what we are doing tomorrow when we find out, or at least we will get something on tomorrow night.
May it be a night of positive realization and rest so that tomorrow you can be on top of things as you serve the Lord.
