Heather continues to do really well. I'm amazed at how well she has done these past couple of days. She is so much stronger than she was even last week. She gets up and walks a couple of times per day. As mentioned in the last post, she has to get up to go to the bathroom now too. She still gets tired really easily, but has much more mobility and independence.
When they changed the dressing on her abominal wound yesterday, they said it looks so good that they will probably take the wound vac off tomorrow (Yay! The last tube will be gone!). They said that they will probably need to take her to a doctor that can either staple or stitch up the remaining wound. It is really healing quickly. Her other wounds are doing well too. Her back continues to be sensitive and painful, but it is healing. Her legs and the grafts are doing great! The cellulitis on her hips seems to be going away too. Heather's friend, Michelle, has come in several days in a row to put essential oils on her hips. This seems to have been quite effective.
