I just talked to Sharon and got an update on the last few days. Sally saw Dr. Brown at Dr. Jiminez's office today. Dr. Jiminez is out with the flu. Dr. Brown agreed that the stone surgery (endoscopic) is set for Jan. 5th. Sally will get some blood work done next Monday after her appointment with Dr. Newton. This will be her first post-op appointment with Dr. newton since her discharge and we hope he's pleased with her progress and is comfortable with her going ahead with the kidney stones' removal.
There have been a couple of scares with the nephrostomy bag leaking and with some of the fluid being pink or cloudy. Dr. Brown said that this is normal with that stone on the kidney. Whew!
Sally's had lots of company. Lots of family these last few days including Abigail, her newest great-granddaughter. What a joy I know that brought to Sally's Day!
Her "bed-sore"is getting better. This is one that's tough to treat, since sitting or laying on it retards the healing, so we're extremely grateful to see the progress.
We'll pray for Sally's Christmas to be especially joyful. She's already told us how glad she is to be with us. We are especially grateful for the progress that she is making. I know this is a result of many answered prayers.
I'll remain in San Antonio until New Year's Day. Then I get to head back to be with our sister!
Merry Christmas!
