Today, December 30th, 2010, Indy is going really well!! I have not gotten here to do a update in a while. I apologize for that!
Indy went in for her last bandage change on the 22nd. Everything looked really well. We are scheduled to go back Jan. 7th. Xrays will be done and we are HOPING removal of the fixator will began. This is the plan.
Believe me, if it is, I will let you know ASAP!!
Indy had a great Christmas!! I will post some Christmas photos below along with her last bandage change day. Also, a video of her and her best friend Marley. They love to play on Indy's bed!!
Happy New Year to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of us at CPR, Indy and myself want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!!
It is SO cold here right now. Indy has not been getting as long or as many walks as I..or she..would like. I have been sick and this cold is killing me. I would love to see some snow.
Indy is doing really well. HOPING for a Christmas present from her Dr. soon!!
Here is Indy's Christmas wish. Thank you to all and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
It is December 2nd, 2010 and I am sick of bandages and I sure know Indy is.
We went back to UGA yesterday. What a day!! We were there almost 3 hours. The good news is, part of the external fixature was removed.
The stabilizer bar was removed and the bottom pin cut off. Indy does have a smaller bandage, but she had to have a temp bandage placed around her leg to cover the hole where the pin was. It was to be removed in about 4 days. WELL!!! it fell off last night. It comes around the knee, so it is hard to stay in place. I tried to put it back on, but lets just say, I did not do a very good job. I called her tech, Dana, this morning and she is giving me another kind of bandage to put in place for a few days. We will see how that goes.
Xrays were also done yesterday. The bone is about 50% healed. This is a very slow rate, but normal when dealing with the MRSA infection. So I guess we are on track.
We will return to UGA in three weeks, unless something comes up. I do not think xrays will be done again until 5 weeks from now. So we still have several weeks to go. Indy is feeling good and eating OK.
Here are some photos from yesterday. She was tired after we got home. You can tell, she was not very happy to be at UGA waiting!
