Just a quick update because it is late. We have had a couple hard but good days. Monday Samantha slept quite a bit. I think she was catching up on the sleep she missed while in the hospital as well as trying hard to not to think about the upcoming doctor visit.
We met with Dr. Heare yesterday. Samantha was really worried because she knew she would have to look at her leg. Sure enough, Dr. Heare took the dressing and splint off and Samantha had to watch as he showed her how to wrap her leg. Samantha was so brave and watched thru the tears how to care for her leg. I was so proud of her!
There is a specific way to wrap the limb to prevent swelling. The better she can manage the swelling the faster she will be ready to have her socket cast. There are so many new things we are learning and I will share all the details tomorrow.
The activity yesterday wore Sam out and we spent most of the evening and today managing her pain. Right now she has everything under control and doing fine.
Goodnight - love to everyone!
This is a continuation of the caring bridge site. However, we will be expanding to include information on the whole family.
