Update on my Dad

The doctor finally called my dad today. His CAT scan was last Tuesday. He said that they need to talk on Friday about what to do. It appears that there has been very little new bone growth and none in some areas. Before the second surgery they said that a bone graph was the only other option…I have no idea if that is still an option. He has also been diagnosed as “borderline diabetic”. He has a host of other medications etc that he is taking and I’m not sure any of the doctors are looking at the “big picture”.

Please continue to pray for my folks. 1. They need to find a lawyer – NOW, 2. They need wisdom to know what to do and deal with the options the doctor provides, 3. For dad’s healing and peace of mind…..contemplating a 3rd surgery is not pleasant and it would seem to ME that any option presented will involve another surgery and lengthy rehab.

Thanks.

So glad to hear all was fine with your followup.
Do not let Tricare win. If they send a bill, send an appeal.... you should not pay for necessary follow up care.....

Sorry to hear that your dad has had virtually no healing. This must be very upsetting for all of you and frustrating for him. Prayers for all.

Thanks for the update. I was just wondering yesterday how things were going with your dad. I'll continue to pray...
