Seems like it was just Christmas and now it is New Year's Eve already!
We are almost 3 weeks out from the hernia repair and Samuel has turned a corner in his recovery. His appetite is back and he is not falling asleep on the couch as often. The incision is healing well and the Dermabond (tissue adhesive) that was used to glue the outer layer of skin together is beginning to flake off. The last 2 sets of blood cultures drawn just before Christmas never grew anything (PTL!), so the 1000 mg of Vancomycin that he has been getting intravenously with each dialysis session has effectively done its job. All in all, things are settling down nicely and we are excited to be celebrating the new year at home with some dear friends.
On a sad note, today is the funeral for my cousin's wife Hope Severance. She died on December 28th from cancer. She will be greatly missed! Please continue to pray for her family.
