Cloud 9 is a place to be, come join us and PRAISE GOD

The last 3 days Bruce has gained full speech back. It has been wonderful to share our journey together. To hear the times of confusion and what Bruce was trying to say to the times and things and places that Bruce wanted understanding on. It truly has been a gift. This is the strongest Bruce has been in this 5 month journey. A real answer to prayer.

Well, Monday morning we had a wonderful morning. Bruce was talking. We set some goals and I told him mine. I want to see out this journey, I want my 10th Anniversary on May 22, I want a wedding ring with a past, present, and future diamond on it because mine was lost at the accident, I want to take him to see MT. Rushmore because he never saw it and we had plans to see it on our return, and we talked about Hawaii for our Anniversary . I took a breath and told him my list was longer so if it's not all about me he better speak up. He said he wanted a 1970 Elcameno red exterior with a black interior. He wants a mountain dew, a beer, breakfast with eggs, potatoes, bacon or maybe to even start with just water. I told him, so see we got so much to do yet and Thank God we are about to watch a healing and then we have goals to achieve. I stood and kissed my honey and off he went.

The Surgery was 4 hours. Dr. Sandman started with the colostomy. When she opened Bruce, she found an infection sack that was unknown prior to the surgery. That alone could have been a source to these infections. It was right by the incision. Do you think that was a coincident? I don't that was the power of prayer. The surgery went well and so because the vitals were still strong, part B of the surgery began. Bruce has a level 4+ pressure wound. She removed all dead tissue,and or infectious tissue along with bone scrapping for samples and testing so the appropriate meds can be applied. Once that was achieved part C of the surgery began. She put a sponge vac packing for healing of Bruces' bottom.

Praise God, all that was planned was achieved and now its time to heal and reach our goals. Thank you all for your prayers, concerns, love, and support. God's blessing has fallen upon us. He will have plastic surgery for closure then we're done. The previous post has a picture of us prior to surgery.
Love
Shelly and Bruce
