Good News Over all Today!,
Last night was a little rough, Mom reported. Don was having a problem with mobility and having a tough time with pain. After I arrived he was having a little better time of it. He had already had breakfast and Mom had washed him up a little. The wound care nurse came in and redressed the remaining wounds on his legs and the one on the crown of his head but all of his wounds were looking so much better! Physical Therapy came in and again, he sat up on his own pretty quickly. He sat up for about 10-15 minutes and while he was sitting up I got to see his big wound on his back. I was so amazed how much it had closed!!!! It is now only about an inch wide and about 8 inches across. I was thrilled to see how small it was. I guess that is what the wound vac does is it just keeps it dry and as it heals from the inside out it draws itself closed. We all were just thrilled at the progress!
Mom went home about 11:30AM to rest and shower and we met across the street at 5PM for dinner and then walked back to be with Donnie for the evening. When we got in the room Don had his dinner here ready to eat but he said he tried to adjust himself in bed and must have wrenched something so he was in one of those super painful moments. He called for his pain shot and that helped. Mom fed him his supper but he kept falling asleep during it. He is now resting quite comfortably. I am going to head home early tonight. I am getting really worn down from staying up way too late at night and I need to rest up a little more tonight. Since Don is a little more settled than he has been I will take advantage it.
Again, thanks for your continued prayers and keep them coming!,
Don and Carol Schirr and Mom (Sharon Zelinko)
