Medical Update

Justin underwent a wound vac change. It is a lengthy, grueling, painful process. The doctors (Pulmanologist, Infectious Wound Specialist, Critical Care Specialist, Orthopedic Surgeon, and Plastic Surgeon) all consulted for the second time today. The name of Justin's infection is "acinetabacter bumanii". The doc cultured 2 surfaces of his leg and aspirated fluid from Justin's knee. I received the news that Justin now has this bacteria in his sputem. Meaning, even if they amputate the infected leg, he does not qualify for the necessary surgery on his broken pelvis because they can not risk infection else where.
This will leave him in a lifetime of spinal damage and pain. All the more reason we seek your prayers at this time.
