Haven't been on in a few days. Brother had fake skin put over large wound on chest. Body rejected the fake skin, tremendous pain removing bandage with fake skin. Trach is out this week. They are sending him home from rehab next week.
Still has open wound on back and large open wound on his chest.
They are going to leave the chest and back wounds bandaged and they will take weeks/months to heal. Will always have feeding tube but very happy trach is out. Working with speech therapist and able to say a couple of words.
This forum has helped me so much. I am able to talk to him and make good suggestions from reading the entries.
I am still trying to get him to sign on. Maybe when he gets home and feels better about his future he will reach out to others.
THANK YOU!
