Sorry, guys, I haven't been on the computer much the last couple of days because we've been busy getting ready to go HOME!!! Mom saw Dr. Martin yesterday morning, and he cleared her to go back to Memphis!
Her swelling issues are still there. At times her feet/legs have been swollen all the way to her waist, causing her to gain 5 pounds in one day over the weekend. Dr. Martin says some fluid retention is normal after surgery and he feels like it can be managed from Memphis (if it ends up needing to be "managed" at all). He thinks it will work itself out within a week.
Mom will probably see Dr. Tauer (oh, how we've missed him!) in the next week or so. Be praying about this appointment because I have a feeling some treatment changes may be in Mom's future. Dr. Martin has some different recommendations than what Dr. Tauer has already been doing. Pray that God will lead them and us to the right treatment plan and that He will use it to bring healing.
So we are headed home this afternoon! We would've left yesterday, but we didn't want Mom to overdo it by trying to cram too much into one day, plus we needed to clean the carriage house and pack. Please pray for safe travels for us, and pray that Mom will be able to make the 6+ hour trip without much discomfort.
We are so thankful for all that God has done for us here in Louisville, but we are more than ready to be back in the bluff city! We look forward to the ways He will continue to reveal His glory there. :-)
