Afternoon Update 🙂

Landen

Today is not so good and he is back on oxgyen but I am at least celebrating that he WAS off 02 for about 18 hours.

The good news is, Susie was in a??fog last night and she told me the figures wrong.?? 25% chance of losing leg – 75% chance of keeping it.?? HOWEVER, that number has already increased today to 35% of losing his leg.????There are at??least 3 issues at play here:?? (1) The swelling is not going down and the wound vac isn’t draining as much as it seems it should (2) He actually has not one but two nails from knee to ankle and it isn’t enough because he has a section of bone?? missing.?? Tomorrow, instead of trying to close the wound, they will be taking bone from his hip and attempt a bone graft.?? The wound vac will have to stay on longer (3) All this is made much more complicated by his diabetes.?? Blood clots, wounds, and infections are all??very risky for diabetics.?? We already realize his healing will be tough as it is and now another incision will be made to the??hip area.????

His shoulder and collar bone are giving him a lot of pain today as well so they are getting ready to ultrasound.?? The X-Ray yesterday didn’t reveal anything in that area but obviously something is amiss.

On the bright side though, I would far rather a 65% chance of keeping it than a 75% chance of losing it – so I’ll call this good news 🙂 !
