Debbie Update

Debbie had her second leg surgery yesterday, which took about three hours.  The surgeon removed bone materials from her femur, reopened the wound from the May surgery, removed the antibiotic cement and added the femur materials with some other stem cell materials to the tibia wound area.  She is wearing a specialized bandaid for a week that is designed to increase circulation.  The best case scenario is if these materials set and begin to form and grow new growth over her bone in the next several months.  We have follow-up appointments next week and the week after - we believe that she will be released from the hospital on Wednesday or Thursday, but if her sodium levels fall, she may be in longer.  Her pain is high currently, but with a little time, it should become easier.  We appreciate everyone's support, prayers, and positive vibes!  It has been a long, long, long and hard road to today, but we are optimistic!
