Last night was a very hard night. Wynter did not fall asleep until midnight and then I heard her move around 2 am- and she said ouch (WHICH she has NOT said this WHOLE time!) I got up to check her - to realize that her IV line in her foot had infiltrated- basically it blew up her foot and leg- it was hard, huge, and about to bust open- I called for the nurse and began to cut off and remove the IV- Wynter was in SO much pain! I sat up- holding her leg elevated- with ice, heat, and gentle massage until 8 am. BROKE my heart for her- she was in more pain from this than anything that has been done so far- she couldnt stand touch- it is a huge setback. We got her off all IV lines, all monitors and as the day progressed, she finished her fluids, antibiotics, and everyone decided that I was well versed in how to care for all her needs and that Wynter would do better- by getting out of the hospital early and back to a more regular routine- less stress on her body. SO- they adjusted her walker, wheelchair, and carseat buckles....filled lots of medications, scheduled returns physical therapy visits and Dr. checkups- and sent us on our way. We will stay very close for the next week to ten days, before we will be able to return home. But as you can see in the last picture- Wynter is glad to BREAK OUT! Thank you Shriners Children's Hospital, local Austin Shriners, and ALL OF YOU for all your thoughts/ prayers/ and support in so many ways! You are all a blessing to us in life changing ways! God bless you all.
