Kathy-Lu has now reached the one-week milestone after her surgery. It is hard to believe that she has come so far in such a short period of time. Praise be to the healing power of Jesus Christ!
Her progress is being closely monitored and reported to our family doctor. The two major emphases at this time are infection prevention and pain management. The challenge is to be active without injuring the healing breast bone.
Recently she has had good days and some that were not quite so good when it comes to pain management. We are finding that it is very important to take pain medication on schedule. But there are still times when the pain elevates and she is in great discomfort. At times the pain is sufficient to wake her or prevents her from being able to sleep as long as she would like. Please pray for wisdom as we do what we can to remove the peaks and valleys of the pain, and for God to do the rest in alleviating the pain.
Currently she is doing well to remember to grip her heart pillow when changing position or coughing. She is attempting daily walks on level ground around our apartment complex. Please join us in asking God for increased strength on a daily basis.
