celebrate!!!


Praise God, it's been an awesome afternoon! Amy and I just returned from the Dr visit where he cleaned out her wound. If you'll recall, we had to dope her up beforehand because it was expected to be excruciatingly painful. And if you ask Amy, she'll tell you that was no lie. It was rough for sure, but she made it! No surgery #7 for now! The Dr was thrilled with how things look and admitted that at one time he'd been rather frustrated because it wasn't healing as it should. But today he was very optimistic and doesn't think she'll even need a skin graft. The wound is smaller and almost flush with the edges. The wound vac is definitely doing what it's supposed to. Finally we can see light at the end of the tunnel. Now we just need for things to happen with her RSD so she can begin to live without pain and swelling. To top it off, Amy received her acceptance today to Johnson & Wales along with a hefty scholarship offer. While culinary school is probably no longer an option, unfortunately, it was still nice to receive the acceptance. Our girl is smiling tonight. Granted, the Vicodin plays a part in that. But at least she's smiling. A special thank you to Andrew for going with us to the Dr appt. He and God made a great team today when Amy was in pain.
Thanks for your prayers and love. More updates to follow.
