Mark is still doing great! He is becoming stronger everyday. They thought that the filter in him stomach to prevent blood clots to going to the legs had closed off and if this had happened, he would have had to have surgery again. Specialists found it was the vein next to the filter had collapsed. They usually remove these filters at 6 months, however with Mark they will leave it in permantly.
His blood pressure is 113/76 and his blood sugar is also good.
He is getting up daily, today they put him in his chair, the pt was very surprised at his strength and trunk control, this made pivot transfers much easier.
The wound care nurse came in and checked the sore and it looks great and so does his colostomy. This was a relief for me...we have spent almost a year healing that wound.
Plans are for the bone to be placed back in his head this summer....Prayerfully, the last trip to as my dad says "The Holyland" Longhorn Country...LOL
Mark will be returning home on Monday....
