Progress Report from Tiffany

Overall Kev’s been doing really well in therapy.  Of course since his right scapula is fractured, his range of motion and ability to do much upper body work is definitely restricted which can be challenging since his arms are all he’s got to transfer from the bed to wheelchair and vice versa.  The infection in his left knee and fractures in his left ankle aren’t helping either.  Over the past 2 days, his left foot has gotten very red and the swelling in his shin and ankle seems to be increasing.  He has also developed a large lump below the puncture wound. These areas are of course being monitored as the concern is that the infection could be spreading.  Kev has had a low grade fever for most of the day today, so please keep praying that his body will be able to fight the infection.

 

Basically all of the previous prayer requests apply but I guess the primary prayer requests at this point are:

 

-        That the antibiotic treatment would effectively fight the knee infections and that the infection would not spread to other areas.

-        That Kev would get the rest he needs to be able to make it through the day and that he wouldn’t be so drained and exhausted.

 

Thanks again for the continued love, support, prayer, meals, etc.  We truly appreciate all you guys have done!
