Dad Update 2

My dad has been at LifeCare, a treatment facility in Rocky Mount, for a week now. We are very pleased with the treatment that he is receiving and feel blessed that he was able to be placed there. That being said, sadly, his bedsore is not healing; it's actually larger. The wound care specialist tried to debrid it this morning, but my dad bled too much and they had to stop. They will try to clean it out again on Friday. He's lost 6lbs in a week, which is mainly due to his Huntington's. Unfortunately, without proper nutrients, his wound will not heal, so it's a continuous battle. The folks at LifeCare are focusing on getting as much good nutrition in him as they can, but you can't make him open his mouth or swallow, he's got to do that. Let this be a lesson to us all, be thankful to God for the simplest of things, things like swallowing or chewing without getting choked. Continue to pray for healing and cooperative eating. Pray that we will rejoice in all circumstances trusting that all of this will result in God's glory!
