The pinsite infections are still there. This has been the 3rd week of penicillin and some of the swelling has reduced but the pin sites are still bad. The pictures show how much of the skin is affected and gives you an idea of how sore they are.
We are going back to hospital each week to have them checked and for the time being the pin site cleaning is being done by a trained nurse and not me (something I’m thankful for). The cleaning is really painful for Ava and involves lots of screaming.
We are all quite weary at the moment.
We are due an x ray in 2 week’s time which will hopefully show that new bone is starting to grow in between the various breaks in bone in Ava’s foot, ankle and leg.
So far this has definitely been worse than the leg lengthening. We were told to expect this by the consultant but until you’re in it you can’t necessarily prepare.
The 4th week of penicillin begins tomorrow and hopefully by the end of the week we will see some progress.
