The physical therapist discharged Nancy yesterday. We expect the nurse to discharge her tomorrow. Then she will be finished with Home Health Care. But that is not the best news. She had a follow up with the Rehab Doctor today. He says she is ready for her temporary prosthesis. So she has an appointment with Chris at Prosthetic Innovations on Thursday. She is also scheduled to be readmitted to Taylor Rehab on September 24 so they can teach her how to walk with the prosthetic and take care of it. This prosthetic will be a temporary one until all of the swelling goes down and her stump completely heals. Although it is healed now I guess it takes more time for the complete healing process to take place. The stump should shrink more, etc.
So we have had very good news and are very excited about the speed of her recovery. If everything goes as planned she will have the prosthetic and be walking about a week short of 3 months from the surgery. I think it is amazing.
Please continue to pray for her and thanks for your continuing prayers and support.
It is absolutely amazing that Nancy has come this far so quickly. A large part of that is due to your physical and emotional support of her journey, Frank! You are a great team.
