Sherri continues to be in the ICU and is resting under a lot of pain medicine. The 8 1/2 hour surgery on Sat was challenging expecially from the vascular side. Yesterday was a day spent watching her vitals and stabilizing the situation with her legs and circluation. The docs feel good about the progress.
The orthapedic surgeon team would like and is planning to take her into surgery this afternoon to "fix" her two broken femur bones. It's not yet decided if they will put a titanium rod down the center of each femur or affix a metal plate to the bone. It's possible that one side will be treated differently than the other.
Sherri continues to have no sensation in her left foot. The doctors feel good about the circulation to the lower leg and foot, however, there has been nerve damage. This morning a boot was strapped onto her foot so that it does not droop down out of place. Recovery for the left foot may take some considerable time. We continue to pray that Sherri will regain feeling and full motion in this foot quickly.
Thanks for your continued thoughts prayer and support along the way.
Now that I've figured out how to navigate through all manner of technical computer/network security, I hope to be a able to provide an update again this evening or tonight.
Wendy and I are grateful for the Lord's continuing provision and for you and your support.
Steve
