Back to the OR on the 10th

Dad is scheduled to return to the operating room on Wednesday, March 10th, for a debridement on his left foot. The procedure is scheduled for 4 PM EST.
  • The doctor said that Dad's foot looks pretty good, but that they need to clean up the wound and remove some peripheral tissue to help healing.
  • He said that very often the procedure can be done in the ICU. However, in Dad's case, he has a fair amount of pain during the regular dressing changes, so the doctors decided to return to the OR and put Dad under general anesthesia for the procedure.
Please pray for Dad's safety and for a successful procedure.

Thanks, as always, for your prayers and support.
