I'm Springing Harry Out Today!

Can you believe it? He is a very blessed man to still have his foot and to be leaving the hospital after only 10 days. He has received many Miracles. I hope The Good Lord never runs out of them. Thank you for your petitions to the Lord on our behalf. We've felt your prayers and acknowledge the Lord's hand in all things. We are deeply greatful for His mercy and kindness.

He has to have a PICC line or a central venous catheter put in today before he can leave the hospital. A central venous catheter, or vascular access device (VAD), is a long, thin, flexible tube used to give medicines, fluids, nutrients, or blood products over a long period of time, usually several weeks or more. A catheter is often inserted in the arm or chest through the skin into a large vein. The catheter is threaded through this vein until it reaches a large vein near the heart. This is how he will receive his IV home therapy for the next several weeks.

He also has a wound care vac attached to the top of his foot. This will continually pull any fluid and infection out. Dr. Brooks says that this speeds up the healing. We still do not know how this happened nor do the Doctors. Apparently his foot abscessed and the abscess blew up.

I'm truly surprised and delighted that he will be home to celebrate his 55th birthday tomorrow! Yall have a fun and blessed weekend!
