Short and sweet.  We got up at 5P30AM this morning and arrived at Sheboygan Memorial at 7AM.   Dr. Fehrman was still pretty much on schedule and Dick went in for the surgery shortly after 8:30AM.   

They were all done and he was back in his room and Dr. Fehrman updated Bobbie and I all before 10:30AM.

The surgery went well.   Dr. Fehrman accomplished what he had hoped to by removing the toe and the affected part of the metatarsal bone of the little toe area of his right foot.   He is pleased with the way the flesh came together but is cautious about the fact that we still have to see if there is enough circulation to heal the incision.  It will definitely be easier than the hole made by the callous but still will require good blood flow so don't stop praying.   We are so grateful for you all and your concern.

Tomorrow he comes home.   Then you need to pray for me because I have to take care of him. 

God love you all

Mary
