The news is, there is no blood at all getting to his foot. The Dr ordered another test to find out where the blockage, so when they have to amputate they know how high to go.
If the blockage is high enough, there is a chance that they could do bypass surgery and that might work, but he has had this done before so I don't know if he has anymore good veins to use.
It is really not a matter of IF, but WHEN. It's only a matter of time before the tissue on his foot begins to break down due to lack of oxygen.
My stomach is in a knot right now. I need to pull self together. Two of my girls are coming this after noon, and I'fm afraid of having a melt down in front of them and the grandkids. |
