The skin grafting surgery is still planned for this Thursday at 2:30pm in Chicago. We are driving to central Illinois Wednesday evening after work and will head to Evanston, IL on Thursday morning. I need to be at the hospital at 11:00am. Evanston Hospital is affiliated with Northwestern University. It has been a busy several days at work and feels like we just got unpacked from last weekend. I was able to hire two more staff individuals today for summer camp (at work), so it is a relief to have that done.
My mom is going to stay with the pastor and his wife that married them. They live about 25 minutes from the hospital and have not seen each other since they were married. She will have lunch with them on Thursday, so hopefully that will be a short break for her. I have a small spot on my foot that developed today where blood is pooling under the skin and it is purple in color - hopefully this is nothing. It is the area on the foot that is the most painful, but I've never had this before ... obviously, the foot is stressed. I cancelled all of my physical therapy sessions for the beginning of June and am not sure when this will resume.
Keep praying for safe travel, all the hospital details will go smoothly, pain relief, and no nausea after surgery. Three trips to Chicago in three weeks is a lot of driving for my mom. Our plan is stay with family on Friday evening and return to St. Louis on Saturday.
We probably will not have Internet access until we return to St. Louis, but will update the blog as soon as we arrive home. Thanks for your endurance in praying in the midst of challenging circumstances .... I appreciate your encouragement and faithfulness. Signing off to the most successful skin graft ever!
