Man I though we had it made this time, but the infection is back in the end of his bone on his stump. So another surgery to take a little more off hopefully they get to good or better tissue as well. He is going to Washington this time and he will go Monday and has his Doc appointment Tuesday and if all goes as he thinks maybe next Friday will be the big day.
We have hear so much good about this doctor too and I think it actually has a Georgetown association of some kind.
Anyway hope this one is the last. He had been doing the bike riding, like 50 mile trips a day with a hand peddled bike, but the last one he went on was some kind of wounded warrior thing in Florida and he made it 175 miles of the 250 it was to be. That was just before we went there for Christmas and went from Sunday to Wednesday so he had to stop one day early because of his leg started having some trouble.
I know a lot of you have followed this for the last several years since he was blow up in Iraq so just wanted to bring everyone up to date and will also report back in a month or two with how it does.
We have high hopes from the stories we have been told about this Doctor.
Here’s hoping that this is truly the last of the operations for him. He’s doing amazing as it is by the sounds of it. A big Thanks from everyone for the sacrifices he’s made.
Thanks guys, it has really been a long road with lots of turns, but we do have good reason to think this may finally be the one to get him over this for good. I mean it all started Dec. 2006 so long enough.
Oh, Skip! My thoughts and prayers go with him to Washington. And are with you and your family, too. Keep us posted. We’ll just KNOW this is going to take care of it! Give him a hug for me.
Skip, my family’s good thoughts and prayers are with you and your son. Give him our thanks for his sacrifice. The Good Lord will take care of him, John
