For those of you that follow my twitter feed, you know that we were in the hospital last week with this girlie.
Five years ago, on Feb 9, she was burned terribly (3rd degree burns) on over 20% of her body. She was in the ICU for two weeks in an induced coma. They put her in that coma because the pain was too great to stand awake. When they put her in that coma, they told us that there was a chance she wouldn’t wake up. For two weeks we weren’t sure she would live through, and in spite of, her injuries.
But she did.
Two long months spent in the hospital, through countless surgeries, and she lived.
Our lives were changed forever the day her t-shirt caught fire. We live with those changes everyday, and we will for the rest of our lives.
Six years later, and her suffering still isn’t complete…she had to go in for an armpit reconstruction last Tuesday. The scar tissue in her armpit has contracted to the point that she can not lift her arm to even a 45 degree angle. It had to be released and reworked. We were in the hospital through the end of the week and spent most of this weekend sleeping it off. Thankfully, her skin “took” to its new location and she is already able to move her armpit more.
Today she woke up, found me, and proclaimed, “Mom! I happy! I better!”
So we are on the road back to normal.
