Sarah Update

Well, since the surgery has been scheduled for tomorrow, I was able to come home one more time to ship out sales. I'm finally going to put my store on "vacation" because it's just too much right now.

Things have changed yet again. The only sure thing is that nobody knows exactly what's going to happen until they get in and look at the hip.

Tomorrow the surgeon will go in and clean out the bone and joint. Now they are saying they may have to remove most of the hip. That will be the worst case scenario, as she will have learn to sit up all over again, and there will have to be some adaptations to her wheelchair.

The Plastic Surgeon came in and talked with us, but he won't even touch her until all of the infection is out and the tissue has started to heal. Once that happens, she'll be admitted for another huge surgery where he will do a "flap", taking the skin off her leg and using it to close the fill in the sore and close it. She'll be in the hospital at least a week at that time. I still don't know how long she'll be in here this time.

After tomorrows surgery they will have to leave the wound open. She'll have to have frequent visits to the Infectious Disease and Wound Care Specialists for months and months, plus more involved Home Nurse Care.

Sarah's trying not to think about it too much. She just wants to get this first part over with so we know what we're dealing with. I second that!!

She had lots of visitors today, so that kept her mind occupied most of the day. Of course Mom and Dad, Sandy and Robin were here because we thought she was having surgery. Then Pastor Collier and Bro. Dale came to visit. Then Amanda Pursley. Then Ruby and Donnie. Then Georgia and Don. Now Dreama, Ashley and Sophie are staying with her while I get my work done at home. She's been VERY happy today!!!!!! Thanks everybody :-)

I've started this blog at her bedside, and right now she is napping. She finally got her hair washed. It hadn't been washed since Friday, and it was stuck to her head. NOT PRETTY, lol!! It took four of us but hey, whatever it takes to get the job done. It was more like a spa visit than a bedside hairwashing!!!!! Oh to have that kind of pampering, lol!!!!

I don't know what she's dreaming about, but she has a smile on her face! Must be somebody good!!!!!! I'll give you one guess, you South Hopewell people. I think he's called your shephard, lol!!!! (Oh, I'm so gonna get it now!!!!!) But most of you know how Sarah is about "Her Men", hahaha!!!

Well, gotta run. I won't be able to do anymore blogs for a while, because I have to post them at home, but I'll keep you updated on Facebook. Unless I can email the blog to Bobby at home and have him post it. That might happen!!

P.S. Naomi Bussinger: Sarah got your card and she LOVED it. I meant to take a picture so I could post it on here tonight. That was sooo cool how you put her picture on it, and everybody talked about how pretty it was. Ya did good girlie!!!

Until tomorrow......
