Medical Update

Justin was put back in the Trauma Intensive Care Unit after a late night in the operating room Friday night but was moved back to the Acute care Unit yesterday.
The plastic surgeon had encouraging news. The large wound behind his knee was not as bad as she had feared. It appears to be fairly clean. She did a tissue culture to determine if it is infected by the acinetabacter bumanii. It will take some time for this culture to show.
The doctor has moved on to grafting Jusin's calfs so Justin's pain has increased from the large donor site on his "good" (right) leg. He now has both legs that are hurting. But he is very eager to get the use of his leg back. He remains positive and fairly cheerful.
