Kristie here-
Saturday morning, Kathy is in great spirits, some of her cheerleaders have arrived!
She has nibbled on some turkey bacon, poppy seed scone, and eaten all her eggs. Ortho came in (Adam), he informed us that Kathy’s next surgery is scheduled for Tuesday to try and close up her fasciotomies, may actually take two more surgeries to accomplish this goal. You know Kathy she is staying very optimistic and hoping for only one more round. She still have 1-2 more Rt. ankle clean outs before they attempt to do an allow graft to reattach all the tendons in her ankle that were blown out. Neurosurgeon made his rounds while I was out getting coffee and pastries for the staff that is taking care of K-love. I guess he has a pretty rotten attitude, and was abrasive...real bummer. However I had asked nurse to order an air mattress to help prevent further skin breakdown, and to up the Nerontin dosage to help with the nerve pain. Mission accomplished!
Kathy is now getting a babywipe,sponge bath from our special friend Michelle, then hopefully some much needed rest, after a long night of miserable and intolerable pain.
Sara, the day shift RN for Kathy, just came in and said everyone just loved and devoured the pastries...lol! Nurses love their sweets!
