Just a very quick update on my brother-in-law, Dennis. Some new sores showed up on his foot last night, so the bypass of the diseased artery that the vascular surgeon had hoped to do would not have been enough to save the foot. They'll be amputating the foot above the ankle tomorrow morning.
Oh my, I'm so sorry. This is indeed not good news. I'll be thinking of him and have him in my prayers.
ReplyDeletei am so very sorry. but i hope the surgery will go well and he can return to health.
ReplyDeleteSuch sad news, but it can't be helped it seems. I will keep him in my prayers - and you and Doug as well.
ReplyDeleteA sad development and not what we were all hoping for, but Dennis can still live a life of quality and focus on many of the things he enjoys. I wish him the best.
ReplyDeleteOh, Linda. :( I will continue prayers.
ReplyDeleteI pray that he can accept this and that healing will happen after the surgery.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear this, Linda, but I'm sure all of his family and friends want what is best for him... Prayers for him and the family.

Sad to hear this, I had hoped for better. Not sure I would want to sign a paper saying it is okay to remove a limb.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that Dennis will lose his foot, but hopefully that will be the end to the complications he's experienced. We will keep all of you in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh my Linda...I'm so sorry. The surgery is today, and my hopes and prayers for a good result are with you and Dennis. Maybe God fill the surgeons and the nurses with right judgment and skill.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you my friend,
Ceil
So sorry I'm just now seeing this post. By now, I guess the amputation has been done. I pray all went well and he is in recovery. My continued prayers will be for his healing, mental state, peace, and acceptance. God bless you and Doug for watching over him. Prayers for you too!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this, Linda. It will be a tough adjustment for him but hopefully he can heal and get on with his life. So hard to accept, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted please. Best thoughts, as always.
Sorry to read the necessity of amputation. My diabetes keeps me alert to a similar type of problem. So far so good for me....
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry it developed in this way, Linda, it will be very tough for Dennis and for you too. I will pray for your strength and patience. Warmest regards!
