This day is done.  Tomorrow will bring healing.  It was not a perfect surgery, but pretty good.  Phyllis's blog gives you all the details below, so I won't recap.  Craig is pain  is in control.  He is satisfied with the outcome and hoping the worst is behind him.  There will be a lot of dressing changes and 3-4 weeks of healing.  Then back here for the skin graft.  Hopefully, then he can resume a more "normal" life.  He will still have a drain, however, he can swim, golf, etc.  With the infection gone, he should feel much better too.


It is after midnight.  So goodnight and God Bless.  Thank you for all of the prayers.  Please continue to pray for no infections and continued strength for Craig.  Also, please pray for Emily.  She doesn't need this added stress in her life right now.
