DAY 11: INFECTED PIN


We had a good weekend, Wynter is slowly getting the hang of this balancing 10 pounds on your head thing. :) She had PT again today- as you can se it takes 2 adults to chase/ keep up with her :) I WAS SO PROUD AND AMAZED this morning- while waiting to see the doctor, Wynter drew a picture of Zac and herself- adding her halo and long hair- WITH OUT any verbal cues- she did it TOTALLY spontaneously!!!! WOW!!! I love this kid! She is so smart!
Unfortunately, by saturday one of her pins started to look red, and by Sunday it was a icky mess. We bought a medical scrub to wash her head and hair in, plus a saline rinse to try to keep infection away- but we had to go back to the hospital today to start her on 10 ml of antibiotics, 4 times a day for the next 7 days.  We know that the risk of infection and a fall are the TWO big things we have to battle against for the next 8 weeks...but please be praying with us that this clears up and that she does not have any future problems with it. It is painful and dangerous. Thank you!!! AS long as this clears up and does not get worse- we will be free to fly back home at the end of the week! YEAH!!! Dad and Zac left very early this morning, and caught some snow on their way out :) We are supposed to get a snow storm tonight- which I know Wynter will love- praying its gone before our flight.

  1. OUCH! Her por head with that infected pin. Oh sweet girl! Sending heavy duty prayers your way. I am just amazed that Miss Wynter can run around like that with a large halo contraption on her head. I would be falling over.
