Hi everyone. The infection that my dad developed in his right leg is indeed a staph infection. He is recieving blood right now to prepare him for surgery. The doctors will address the infection again this afternoon in surgery. None of the doctors are sure if they will continue with the intended surgery on the left leg. An external fixator was placed on the left tibia awhile back to try and set the leg. Unfortunately, the leg did not stay aligned and is no longer set. If the doctors feel like it is safe to go ahead with that surgery today than they will. We know this is just another bump in the road for my dad. He has proven his will many times over the past 27 days and we know he will continue to do so. Time is dragging for my dad today b/c he is anxious to get down to surgery. He knows the more they do to "fix him" the sooner he will get to go home. As always, please keep my dad in your thoughts and prayers. Whatever you all are doing it is working so please continue. Go Joe go!
Thanks, Dana
