I haven't posted an update lately on Amy's foot and people have been asking. She no longer has an open wound, thankfully. The skin covering the wound is thin and purple, but with time that will settle down a bit. She's going to physical therapy twice weekly and yesterday Adrian applied kinesio tape. If you watched the Olympic volleyball female gold medalists, you saw the black tape on one of our girls. It's used to treat swelling issues by lifting the skin to allow fluids to disperse. We'll try it for awhile to see how she does with it. It's supposed to be amazing stuff. Meanwhile, we go back to the Dr in Denver on the 20th at the pain management clinic. Baby steps at this point, but we'll do whatever we can to make sure she's in good shape to head off to college in August. Thanks for your continued prayer support!
