We're fine

Sorry to those of you who've asked how we're doing and had no reply! Andre and I have both been down with stomach flu...not very pleasant.

But, we've made a full recovery from that.

Andre is also doing much better overall--thankfully! The blood clots in his neck and lungs have not become symptomatic which indicates that the blood thinners are doing their job. He'll be on that medication for 6 months.

Today he finished the strong antibiotics for the MRSA infection in his knee, so hopefully that's gone.

He will be seeing the vascular surgeon (blood clot), the infectious disease doctor (infection) and the orthopedic surgeon (knee repair) in about 10 days so we'll have more updates then, and hopefully news on when his next knee surgery can take place.

He is able to get around a lot better now, using just one crutch. Although he still has to rest for most of the day, he can drive and is starting physio therapy this week. Hooray!

Thank you to all of you who have prayed for us and shown us such care through meals and notes and gifts. We have been cheered and encouraged by each of you.
