The
lab in San Diego found no leukemia in the CSF (cerebrospinal fluid).

What
words can I use?

“Praise
God from Whom All Blessings Flow”

“How
Can I Keep From Singing?”

“Now
Thank We All Our God”

“There
is Sunshine in my Soul Today”
v
The
wound vac was removed!
o
To
review, this motorized pump drains the wound, via a sponge the length of the
incision, through tubing, into a reservoir.
o
There
is no bandaging needed; the sponge is held in place with clear plastic tape.
o
It promotes
healing by keeping the wound very clean and dry.
o
It
doesn’t require dressings and the changing of dressings.
o
It
did, however, keep the two sides of the incision from touching and therefore
they couldn’t fuse together and heal.
v
The
surgeon closed the wound with widely placed sutures (stitches) and put wicks in
between, to help with drainage.
o
Now
he has a dry dressing (which will need to be changed).
o
This
is a huge step towards healing.
o
The
oncology team is as excited as I am.
o
No
one can be more excited than David.

Wonderful news; great to read as I begin to move towards ending today and beginning tomorrow. If you look at my facebook, you will see 10 pints of marrow bone broth. These are now downstairs in "the monolith" getting hard frozen. They were made with David in mind though logistics are challenging.
