Hi everyone,
Hope you got the chance to read the article Anthem put in their last newsletter (last blog entry). Our story went out to all Anthem subscribers! The link has a before and after pic of us. (Worth a thousand words:). We hope it will encourage many in their own health challenges.
Since then,
~Steve was approved for another set of therapy (8 sessions)! He continues to make progress and one way we know this is the therapists measuring his changes so the insurance will grant more sessions.
~I fell and fractured my kneecap and must wear a brace to keep my leg from bending for a month:/
~Steve has been dealing with a kidney stone and finally, after three procedures, it is gone. However, he contracted a kidney infection that became a blood infection and has been on powerful antibiotics since he arrived in Christ ER Tuesday evening May 9.
Doctor isolated the most effective antibiotic to give him but it only comes intravenously. Therefore Steve has a PICC line, is still at Christ in room 6016 and will be going to skilled nursing for the remainder of the course of antibiotics. A nurse has to infuse him 2X a day.
Though the blog posts have been infrequent, we very much still need your prayers and support through this stretch of the recovery landscape.....it's one step in front of the other, one day at a time.
Love, Steve and Nancy
