The Foot...final update

At least we hope it is the final update. Things are better. We met with the doc last Friday and were finally given some good news. He said he thinks Chris' foot will heal on its own without further medical intervention. The top skin of his foot is pretty hard and the doctor said the skin will most likely sluff (how do you spell that darn word?) off on its own. Chris is also noticing that he is lacking feeling in certain parts of his foot when someone touches it but we are guessing that is part of the dead skin thing and nothing to worry about...we hope.

The part of his foot that was black is still black and has now leaked out blood into a thin layer of skin just above the surface. It is kinda neat to push the blood around with your finger. Chris wanted me to take a video of us doing this but a picture of his foot will have to do and you will have to use your imagination. I'm just not that techy.

Chris went back to work for the first time today. He also spent 45 minutes at the gym which was pretty exciting. He is finally off crutches and manages fairly well with his walking boot. He is almost completely off of his pain killers. He is still finishing off his antibiotics but should be done with those soon. All of the prayers, meals, offers to mow the lawn have been wonderful. Thank you to everyone who helped or offered to help. We are very lucky to have you in our lives.
