Robs wounds



As of yesturday we are not packing Rob's stomach and I do not think it will be another week and we will be done with his leg. I can not get over the difference in his body and how fast he is healing. He is doing so much better now that he can get up and move around.

Rob saw infectious control



Honestly, we kinda both thought it was a waste to go to infectious control today. Now we trully regret it. They told him he had basic staph and he has not had it terribly long. The thing that upsets me is the Doctor wanted to see the wounds so he asked him if he was going to change the bandages. The doctor told Rob they do not do that or have the stuff to do that. So he proceeds to take out the packing and then he puts the dirty packing back inside of Robert. Can you imagine that? The nurse said we really need to watch Rob for a few days to make sure he does not get another infection.
I wanted to take a minute and tell you we have had the best home health nurses. We have had the same one this week and last and she is so friendly. she answers my questions over and over. The kids love her, Grace wants to go home with her. She is so sweet to us and ask so many wonderful questions to make sure we understand everything. Even the weekend nurses are nice. I was so worried about it because I have had bad experiences with them when I had them for myself.
The pictures are just random. The first is Grace and Rob at chick fil a, the second is from yesturday. The girls are on his good leg. it was very special because they have missed being close to daddy

Day 5 of recovery




Today has been as close to perfect. I slept in until 7am and then did a mad dash to make sure the house was in good shape before home health nurse got here. When she left we went to krispy kreme and then the farmers market and then we went for a walk around the park. When we got home the older three did school and Grace and Rob took a nap. This evening a friend brought her 3 kids over to play and while they were here playing dress up Rob and I played uno. Now they have gone home and the kids have helped get the house straightened back up and ready for tomorrow. While it breaks my heart that I know this is killing Rob I have enjoyed our walks and shopping and talking and playing games. It is so neat because Rob is home but he can not do anything so there are no expectations of a list for him to accomplish. There is no thought of he should be helping me out more. Because he can not do those things. The girls have been watching everything I do when I change Robs dressings. Actually Faith has asked to do it on her own. Tonight the girls sang to Rob while he was getting his dressing change. I missed the best song about daddy has holes in him to the tune of Jesus loves me. A wonderful friend brought us dinner tonight. It was perfect. I do not know why but I have not made rice in long time and she brought Rob’s favorite kind. And there is plenty of extra for tomorrow. Please scroll down and push pause on my music so you hear the girls sing. Also please excuse the basket of clean laundry behind the girls. And please excuse the fact that Hope is only in a towel and Grace is in her pajamas.
