wound v.a.c. out

Wendy's home health nurse was able to remove the Wound VAC today. The wound is sealed with gauze and tape at the present moment. Tomorrow the wound will be reassessed to see how it does with just the simple closures. The home healthy nurse will check it again on Wednesday and put a "sealant" along the wound to help keep it protected. Wendy is THRILLED. It is the first day since October 19th that she is free and not connected to any wires, tubes or cords. Please pray that the wound (which is still open) continues to heal quickly and that no new infections develop. She said it feels great to hobble around without carrying a heavy wound VAC and dragging a long cord everywhere she goes.

Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious!
Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! Psalm 66:1-3b
