Home and Healing

Alex is home again....resting and healing. He is clearly feeling much better as he even was up for going out for dinner with Brett and Carol last night! Brett came over to finish the mowing/edging of our lawn (meaning that it looks about 100 times better than usual!) and Alex opted to go out to eat rather than eating at the house! It seems to make a big difference when he gets out of the house for at least a little while every day.

We are now packing his newly opened wound on his belly with different material and they tell us it should be healed in 6-8 weeks. He is also soaking his other wounds in the bathtub a few times a day. We are scheduled to return to Cleveland for follow up on Sept. 4th and have several follow up appointments scheduled between now and then with his KC nurses/doctors. Alex was really looking forward to going back to work next week, but will now need until the end of August to recover from this last surgery.

Thank you all again for the prayers and encouragement. We know Alex is getting better day by day and are working on patiently awaiting the day he will be 100% again. Love and blessing to you all...

Just kidding!

Say "HI" to Grandpa and Grandma, Amber and Jada for us.

Thinking 'bout you!
