This week flew by. I took Samantha to the doctor on Monday and the doctor confirmed she had the flu. Tuesday and Wednesday - she had a fever off and on.
We had an appointment scheduled on Thursday with Dr. Heare to take out her stitches. She was still feeling yucky but her fever seemed to break. Dr. Heare took a look at her leg and determined that she probably had a small infection at the surgical site as well. It isn't bad and he wasn't concerned. He just put Samantha on antibiotics for a while. The stitches didn't come out either, but we did get her leg shrinker (like a compression sock for her limb). All the doctors and the prosthetist agreed that her leg was looking fantastic.
Sam has just been sleeping - letting her body work on healing itself. Homework is piling up but next week is Spring Break, so hopefully Sam can get caught up a bit.
The weather has been beautiful - in the 70s and it is supposed to continue this weekend. Samantha will spend Sunday with her dad - it is his birthday. Jeremy and I are planning on meeting up with some friends and heading to the zoo.
We are taking a day at a time and I will be so glad when Samantha starts feeling better.
take care!
This is a continuation of the caring bridge site. However, we will be expanding to include information on the whole family.
