Update on Husband

The surgery itself was a little more detailed then even the doctor thought but after 2 hours and 45 minutes they finally got the new knee in and and he was off to recovery. Finally made it back to the room around 2:10. Last night wasnt too bad for the pain. However today hasnt been very good. They took him to physical therapy this am and after that the pain hasnt been controlled. They have upped the meds with no results plus given him extra shots along with it. So they cancelled PT for this afternoon. Also one of the problems has been bleedings. they have have given him 2 units and he's lost around 700cc today so far. So we are waiting on the doctor to come in and hoping that more surgery isnt warranted but am prepared for whatever it takes. He is also having trouble with itching from the pain medicine and they don't seem to concerned with that. So remember us in your prayers tonight....... that this will turn around.
