It has been two weeks since surgery, and Colby is doing great! He had a few pretty rough days the first week but still managed to return to school Monday morning...2 days after surgery! He never ceases to amaze us! He has also been to his soccer games to cheer on his team, and I'm sure he provided a little coaching help as well. We haven't let him go to practices yet, because let's be honest...we don't trust him to follow his restrictions. Ha!
He had a post op wound check this morning, where we got good news/ bad news. Bad news is he needs another week to heal before they can remove the stitches.
Good news is the incision looks amazing and is healing so well. More good news is that this lead is performing better than his original lead, making the pacemaker function more efficiently! New projection on battery life is 9 more years!! Before the lead change, we thought he would be back in the operating room within the next 4 years.
We are scheduled to go back next Friday to have the stitches removed. Hopefully by then it will be healed enough to do so. This will be just in time for Labor Day Weekend lake time!
Thank you all for the continued prayers and sweet messages to check on him.
