Wednesday's update

Today Steve progressed a little more. His catheter was removed as was the splint on his leg. He was sitting up in a chair for a few minutes this afternoon! Of course this tired him out immensely so he got back in bed quickly and fell asleep : ) Although he is getting a little nutrition now, he is still very weak and tired. His breathing gets pretty heavy when he moves around or has pain surges. 

Steve's leg looks really good. Originally they had the splint from his knee to the middle of his foot. Now that they unwrapped the bandages and replaced them with only what is needed, I realize how little of the lower leg was actually effected by the surgery. Medical science never ceases to amaze me. 

I look forward to seeing what good things tomorrow brings. Have a great evening and remember to count your blessings, hug your loved ones and make the most of each new day God gives you!!
