Ooooo that look sore!

We went for the dressing off today and despite my pleading with the nurse to go slow and gentle she still did a waxing strip removal of Emilys gauze taking off a load of scab while she did so which sent her into hysterics and hiding under a counter like a frightened rabbit refusing to let anyone including me near her :'( it was horrible seeing her so upset, made me sick to my stomach. Home now and she has managed to remove the rest carefully by herself. It's left a nasty scar but I guess we are lucky it's gone as well as it has. It could be 6 months before she has full or partial full use of her arm back.

 

As if things couldn't get worse lately poor Hannah has ended up with a badly infected thumb from a teeny tiny splinter that stuck under her thumb nail! 7 days penicillin an if it gets any redder we have to go to A & E 

K-wires out finally bandage for two more weeks

Today Emily had to be put to sleep again for the metal rods taking out of her arm. She wasn't down too long after it took them all flaming day to come and get her, yet again had the trauma of being put to sleep poor thing! All is well and looking forward to getting all bandages off in two weeks time
