UPDATE:
When we got up this morning another portion of her wound had 'burst' open. This area still showed the stitch. AND yes, it was GROSS!!!
There was/is lots of discharge.
We took pictures and called the doctor/surgeon.
He felt that the best thing that could of happened was for those two areas to 'break/burst' open. The stitches not dissolving is the cause of the problem.
BUT
Now we have two fairly LARGE openings in the wound. One area still has the stitch in the skin. This is breeding ground to infection.
We are asking that you continue to pray for Elizabeth.
PLEASE pray that the wound stays CLEAR of any other infection and that if anything else needs to come OUT comes OUT!!!
She needs to keep this area 'sterile' -- CLEAR of bacteria. This is hard for her!!! :)
Also pray that the swelling goes DOWN and this heals QUICKLY!!! She would LOVE to be able to walk 'normal' again by wearing her prosthesis.
PRAISE -- she was able to STAY home all day with my mom -- and she spoiled her a bit. She painted nails, did crafts, got her hair done pretty, ate good and had a good nap. She's as happy as can be :) She's eating normally and still NO fever. Also -- she hates the med but is taking it with NO complaining because she TOTALLY understands she needs to get better!
