Please pray for my brother-in-law
May 30^th, 2008 at 2:32pm

He is paralyzed and has been a wheelchair for 9 years or so. He now has a stage IV pressure ulcer, which is the worst one that you can have, which means it is down to the bone. Also, this is what Chrisopher Reeve essentially died from. So, my sister is frantic and very scared. Luckily, she is a nurse. They are considering putting him in the hospital this afternoon because of this. I've been researching it over the last hour and only 62% of stage IV ulcers heal and only 52% heal within a year. Please pray for him, my sister and their 2 year old daughter! This is very scary, because if it gets infected that is the worst that could happen!

Thank you so much!

I'm adding him and your family to my prayers! Have they tried a vaccuum on the wound yet? Or hyperbarics?

Please keep us updated - and I certainly hope that they are able to heal it for him! Having good care and determination to do all the right things to work to heal it is really such a huge part of the battle! Sounds like he's got that going for him, at least!

Hugz,
Carrie

They're not putting him in the hospital for the time being. I believe that they are going to be using a vac (my mom didn't know, but I assumed), but they have to run a bunch of tests on him first. He had to go to the hospital today to get a CBC, and I haven't heard the results yet, but I'm hoping all will go right! My sister, in the meantime, has been worried sick and is not taking care of herself....and she's a nurse, she can't afford to be sleep-deprived and sick!

I will let you all know once I have more info, but for right now everything is ok, it's not infected, which is very good news!

Thank you all so much for the prayers and everything...you really have no idea how much it means to me!!

Love you all!

P.S. His name is Scott.
