This mornings surgery went well, we are back in the room, having bypassed the PICU. The infection was down into the bone and required that the bone pieces that were removed from the first surgery be permanently removed. Doctors say that will not be a problem and that she might even grow it back naturally. In other words, instead of having vertebrae rings she now has horse shoes. Cassie received a PICC line I.V. and has begun receiving 3 antibiotics through it. She will have to be on those for a few weeks.
Our hopes of coming home this week have been dashed. We will need some help this week with the kids after school and into the evenings. If you can help please contact Sister Cook. Thank you for your prayers.
"Horse Shoes" are better by far. . . they bring GOOD LUCK! More than that, our love and prayers and faith are with you and your precious little angel. Rest assured, she is in the Hollow of His Hand!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad she is doing so well besides this little set back. She's a fighter! If you ever don't have help available from your ward or anyone else-call or text me anytime & I'll do whatever you need!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about the recent developments. I hope she heals from this soon and that the antibiotics do their job. Hang in there. Lots of love!

ReplyDeleteI remember getting my 2nd PICC line and having it when I went home 2 years ago, they really work. The doctors, nurses and staff always work their hardest to get us back to our homes as soon as possible. I have contacted Sister Cook and realized you have so many people that care for you and your family but if there is anything I can do for your let me know. You all are constantly in my thoughts, especially Cassidy I know what she is going through. Kenalee Hanson
