Lucille Update #1

Lucille is getting along with no undue complications, which is to say no setbacks such as major infections or things like that. But she still has a long, long, way to come for full recovery.

This morning, Dick reported that in a few days she may move to a convalescent home for a short period, then back to the hospital for grafting of skin. Unlike some people, Lucille's skin is not thick and therefore does not suture well, probably necessitating skin grafts. When that is completed, she'll head back to a convalescent home for the grafts to heal, probably a few weeks.

Then it will be back to the hospital for Lucille for more surgery. This time, they will attach hardware supports ("pins" if you will) to the bones for structural stability.

Because of this back-and-forth movement, Dick suggests that your well-wishes be mailed to her here at Rockport 35 RV Park. I've changed the address in the original post and will give it again here:

Lucille Carlson
Site 40
4851 N. Highway 35
Rockport, TX 78382

Son Rick and Dianne will be leaving this coming week to head back to Michigan so Dick will be left alone. Please remember this family in your thoughts and prayers.
