The blood work labs looked good, yesterday, so Tim was able to go on home. He will be starting physical therapy, for his arm, today at 4pm. He really doesn't want to do physical therapy, but the dr. says that it will help the swelling to go down, if he gets that arm moving. I know it's going to be so painful for him!!! He will have to go three days a week, until his mobility is back. He will be going back to the doctor on Friday, to get his blood platelets checked.
The pain and swelling have not gotten any better. I think we will have to call the dr. today. He said that if Tim starts experiencing any new pain, to let him know. Up until yesterday, the swelling had stopped at his stomach. Yesterday evening, the swelling spread down to the top of his hip and thigh!! The skin on his neck is very sore to the touch, but is not swollen, and it is hurting him to breath, because of the tightness of the skin around his chest and stomach. He's in pretty bad shape!! The pain killers seem to wear off a little too soon, too. He is supposed to take one, every six hours. By hour number four, the medicine has worn off! I guess that's another thing we'll need to discuss with the dr.
Your prayers are still very needed!!! I appreciate those of you who have called and e-mailed, and who have been praying! Thank you!!! :)
