Home care nurses try to deal with a large oozing wound. At home, October 23, 2007. The wound is getting larger, and we spent most of the day trying to address what I feel is a dangerous problem. I think Martijn should not have been released from the hospital given the fact that what was a well healing scar suddenly opened leaking lymph fluid. Though he has no fever, the wound looks pus-filled now, and as good as these home care nurses are I don't understand why a wound specialist hasn't been called. I worked non-stop today, literally from 9 to 9, cooking and cleaning linens and bed clothing. Tomorrow our general practitioner will call early and supposedly come by. This situation is both frightening and I think unnecessary. We try to keep our spirits up but I'm not a nurse and I feel rather scared by how this is going.

Dear Strong Suze -
My compassion goes out to you. You must be so tired. Through your exhaustion, do not forget to trust your instincts. You do what you think is best. I know you can and will.
In Healing Love To You Both,

I hope the huisarts has already come and the situation has improved. Im so sorry that the joy of having him home is overshadowed by this Will come when i am completely better..which is not yet the case. you and martijn are in my prayers...love trish
Just back from a five day trip to my old aunt in France, I read the good news that Martijn is at home now, but also the disappointing news about his wound. I hope and pray that it will urgently be treated adequately so that you can continue enjoying your being together again in your lovely house. Love, Ingrid
