Pai was released from hospital on November 18th.  He is doing well!  Thank God!  Electrolytes are back to normal.  

Yesterday, marked 3 months from the surgery.  After 3 months, wound is still healing, but almost completely healed.  We have all been patient knowing wound will heal in God's timing and not ours.  

Pai will meet with a new Prosthetist next week for the first time.  Hopefully, the meeting will go well and we can move forward with Pai getting fitted for Prosthesis.  

"God, I pray for healing to Pai's wound.  That it heals soon, so that he can get back to living a normal life again.  Pai has been so patient.  Thank you for taking away the pain and that Pai has not needed pain medicine for weeks now.  Thank you for helping Pai recover for the low sodium episode.  Help us to make the right decisions regarding any new meds, so that Pai doesn't have anymore serious side effects again.  In Jesus Name, AMEN!"

It has been quite sometime since I have written.  I guess I haven't written because there hasn't been anything too new to report.  Pai's wound has been healing.  We are getting closer and closer for him to be ready to be fitted for Prosthetic.

Big change...Last night, Pai was not himself.  He became confused and disoriented.  Mae and Val called 911. Ambulance transported him to hospital.

Long story short...his sodium level is low causing confusion and memory loss.  He is being treated at the hospital.  Doctors are working to get his sodium level back to normal.  It appears that the low sodium level may be the side effect of a new medicine.

I saw Pai this evening.  He is almost non-responsive.  The sedative he is being given contribute to the non-responsiveness.  It is extremely difficult for me to see my dad in this state.  I talk to him, but I am unsure if he knows it's me.

When I arrived in his room, he was praying quietly to himself over and over again.  "Holy Mary, Full of Grace..."  Pai has a strong faith in God.  He was praying faithfully.

"God...please help Pai get back to normal again.  I pray for continued healing and recovery from whatever is causing the sodium to drop.  I pray that the sodium level goes back to normal safely.  I pray for the Doctors to make the right decision for Pai.  In Jesus Name, AMEN!"
