Day 15
It has been several days since we last updated. Our last visit with the doctor was uneventful but we now have a problem. The open spot on her incision has now developed an infection. We called Dr. Hanson Monday morning bright and early and finally got a response when I called again at 4:30 in the afternoon. We are on an oral antibiotic and we will see him again in a few days. Shelby's pain level continues to be a key point in her recovery. We are still thrilled to be home and her recovery gets better each day. Our wheelchair guy will be here on Thursday and he will do comfort adjustments and order new seat backs and cushions if she needs them. We turned in a request for a new bed the Friday before surgery and it was approved last Friday. (I can not believe that was accomplished in 2 weeks.) That never happens!! Thank you Lord and all the people that were involved in that magic. It should arrive by the middle of next week. That will really help with the care that we have to give Shelby to keep her comfortable. We will keep you posted on the infection and future recovery.
Love to All,
Kim

Shelby, You know you don't have to "out-do" amanda! And I can't believe your bed will be here next week - Amanda will be soooo jealous! Take it easy and get those nasty germs out of your system!
