Just a quick update.
Judi is back from surgery and the surgeons indicated everything went fine. They did find a suspect area on the prosthesis that may have been some infection. They took cultures and we will have to see what, if anything, grows out. This will determine the antibiotic treatment she will receive when she leaves the hospital. It also means we will be in the hospital for another week or so as we wait on the cultures and get her ready if she needs to take IV antibiotics.
Now we wait and see how she does mentally as she comes out of the anesthesia and gets her bearings. I will also have to get her to accept the fact that once again she has an abnormal appearance and not get self conscious about it. We will also have to make sure she recognizes the risk she has there and to treat it with care (no scratching, rubbing, etc.).
Keep praying for her. This journey is just beginning.

Praying for you and Judy and Jessica. It has been a rough year for our family with the death of both of my parents but I can't even imagine what 24 hours of your life is composed of right now. We are praying for healing and the right antibiotics as she moves through this season in recovery. Cathy and Chris Golden
