Celebrate!!!

Great news today at Amy's visit with Dr Jain. No more wound vac!!! The wound looks awesome and everyone was thrilled that we're finally nearing the end of treatment. They used a different type of dressing which we'll continue for a couple more weeks, but tomorrow I get to call the wound vac company to schedule pick-up of the supplies we still have on hand. We still have one more mist therapy on Monday. We'd hoped we were done with that as well, but we can live with just one more. I think the Dr anticipates we'll be home free by Christmas. Unfortunately, that's when we'll just be getting started with the new pain management Dr in Denver. Our prayer now is that there's an easy, painless, quick way to deal with her RSD and that we won't have to make a lot of trips to Denver. The good news is that the semester is almost over and even if we have lots of appointments ahead she won't miss much school since she'll have a lighter load beginning in January. It's been a long haul since our journey began with the first surgery in June of 2007. Brian jokes that I should have an RN degree by now with all Amy and I have been thru together. But I know that if I weren't taking care of my own child, I could never do what the nurses do on a daily basis. The whole staff at the wound healing center has been amazing and we're blessed to know them. In the picture above is Bill, the wonder nurse, Dr Jain, and Amy. Lots of laughs when they're all in the same room!
