Well, the wound vac girls were in again today to take them down and looked things over. Ortho and plastics both came to take a look. For the most part, they are pleased with the way things look. There is that one spot on the lower left leg that is suspect, though. It has been collecting fluid for some time and not really draining they way they would like it to be. They have all said that they will just be keeping a close eye on it for any change. It doesn't look much different than it did 2 days ago, which just means that is not any worse off than it was. However, everybody would be happier if it started draining or redistributing itself a little better.
Today, we are going to try some pureed potato soup and see how that goes down and maybe some apple sauce. My dad is thrilled because his brother Al has made him some homemade broth. He says "it tastes a hell of a lot better than this hospital crap". He has already made me promise to go out to the store and pick up some coffee ice cream (it's his favorite). At the rate we're going I feel like I should get a few gallons just to get us thru the next few days!
Thanks for everything, everybody!
Love, Stacy
