Dad went to and from surgery this morning. Dr. Duke kept his word and built his “ledge” out of something resembling silly putty. Thankfully the grafts have not disintegrated. He didn’t say they looked “great”, but he said they are still on there. Now Dr. Duke has his ledge, graft, and the fistulas exposed and lights shining on his legs while he tries to heal. This is the first time since January that dad has not had ANY wound vacs. There are drains for the fistulas with suction to the wall canisters. Dr. Duke told mom ahead of time that she might find his contraption to be crazy, but we don’t care what it looks like (especially if it leads to successful grafts).
Thanks to everyone for your continued prayers – he still needs them. We pray that this might be the last grafting, and until further notice he will be unable to have visitors.
