Independence Day

Well Dr. Ennis checked in on Paula today and was happy with how the skin graft looked. They removed the existing wound vac (painful) and added a new larger (even more painful) wound vac in its place. This new vac covers even more area to try to save any leakage from the borders of the previous vac from injuring the suurounding tissue of the wound. She has had quite a bit of pain lately, especially today with the bandage changing. Now it will be several days again before the have to disturb the wound site. All in all, anothe good report card from the doctor.

Paula has been a real trooper through this, but now really needs to get some relief. This week will be pivotal in her emotional well being, because if she can see some healing progress and FEEL some hraling progress it woulf really help lift her spirits. Please keep us both in your thoughts and prayers. It has been a difficult time, and your support has really kept me strong and in turn has helped keep her strong as well.

And may God bless every individual who has ever worked toward the future or defended the rights of our country.
