Should have checked my email before the last post, as there is a new update from Dave, Mike's Dad. Not too much different to report, but wanted to share his update as well as ours...
"Friends and Family,
Now that Mike is out of the hospital, there is less to report. I [Dave] will be turning this over to Ruth (Mike's Mom), since she is still in Illinois, and I [Dave] returned safely to Maine yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday, Mike saw his general trauma surgeon and had his sutures/staples removed - everything looks like it is healing fine. The doctor also looked at his hematoma and commented that it is also healing very well (even though it may not look that way to us). He told Mike that he can stop using the wrap that he had to keep the swelling down. This is a big deal because it went around the rib cage and tended to intensify the pain coming from the broken ribs.
Mike also received another visit from the PT; his session went well and he is keeping up with all the exercises.
Next Monday, Mike will be seeing his orthopedic surgeon.
That is all for now. Again, thank you for all the positive thoughts and prayers...he is definitely on the mend!"
Love & Blessings,
karin
