This video is of dad walking and then right after, he takes the leg off and learns that he formed another blood blister. It means that his incision still has a weak spot. But it is a great video of him walking!!!! We are sooo close!
Dad went in today with mom, jeff, dave, kelly, and I to try out his new leg. He did great and the doctor cut it down to fit better but after 5 minutes of walking, he had a blister again. The doctor said this means that his incision still has a weak spot and we need to wait another 3 months till we try again. Dad was of course discouraged but the doctor said he has hope that it will eventually work but we just have to wait longer. We will keep praying and hoping he can take his new leg, "Fred", home soon. Dad gave his leg a name :) We hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
