Journal entry by Laura Peachey —
Im so sorry for the delay in an update.
Kevin had surgery to do skin grafting last week, on Thursday July 26th. They took skin from a “donor” site on his left leg, and put the skin over his wound in his right leg. This has, as expected, creates pain in his left leg. He stayed over night Thursday night and then came home Friday afternoon.
Therapy has been postponed until the doctor looks at the skin grafted sight, on Friday of next week. He will have to give his ok, to start therapy.
They also have taken the vacuum off his lower leg wound and closed that up!!!
His pain, since the surgery, has definitely been worse.
Pray that the skin grafting would heal over correctly. Pray also for grace for the pain!
