An exciting day
Today was a very exciting one for Popo...he got to take a shower. A real shower! He has been sponge bathing over the last several months but there is nothing like a real shower, especially after 110 days. He said, " It was like heaven!" He was thrilled to wash his hair and really feel clean.
He continues to do his excercises daily. He is happy to be home on the weekends and looks forward to his rehab during the week, which is making him visibly stronger each time I see him. He is up and moving around throughout the day, but will need to continue to increase the amount of time he spends on his feet in order to rebuild his strength.
The infection on the toe has been identified as staph and something else called acinetobacter. They are currently treating it with a topical cream and will check it out in another week. They are waiting to see if they'll need to start antibiotics again because the one that they are thinking about using next has some irreversible side effects, the most serious being kidney problems The two infections are resistent to antibiotics. We feel confident in the doctors that are currently treating Popo, but he could still use all of your prayers.
As always, thank you for the strength, good wishes, positive thoughts, cards, care packages, and everything else that your kind hearts have been sending his way. Love to you all and wishes for a safe and happy holiday!
