Physical Therapy this morning was tough, but went very well. Dad walked to and from the window twice! It's wasn't long ago at all that he couldn't even stand (even though he tried so, so hard)!
Mom had a little meeting with Dr. Duke and signed some paperwork for the grafting. It sounds like it's really going to happen! Dr. Duke says that the fistula has moved to the front, so he should be able to start grafting that entire side. He will then move the drains to the middle, so they should not compromise the grafting at all. Great news! This grafting will be quite a process, but we are so happy that they are starting. There is still no plan to "close" him, but starting to graft one side is a great progress!
Mom also got to talk to one of the doctors about more of a long term plan. After they finish here (whenever that may be), then what? Therapy and then HOME!!!! They are pretty tight lipped about giving out an long term plans or prognosis, but talk about one day going home is definitely nice to hear.
Please pray that all goes well tomorrow and the grafts take.
