Sue gets an ultrasound of her leg every three months. In April her third bypass was going strong.  In July we got the news that the bypass had failed. We knew this was going to happen, the doctor told us it would be a matter of when. It was still a shock. When we saw the doctor for the follow up she told us that the purpose of the bypass was to give us time. She said that it failed sooner than she had thought it would, but it had given us the time we needed. The bypass was to get Sue’s wounds healed. Sue has developed enough collateral arteries she can keep her leg. We need to be very careful about getting wounds on that leg as they probably will not heal and then she runs the risk of losing the leg. The doctor that has helped us so much is relocating to Wisconsin. We are in the process of getting a new vascular doctor. Sue has used the allotted 20 outpatient visits allowed by insurance.  She is using a walker to learn to walk again. We are working on doing stair steps at home. Sue is able to get out some. She has had a lot of loss in the last year please continue to hold her up in your prayers. Thank you for the prayers.
