I haven’t been able to see Aimee yet this morning, because the doctors are working with her. They are now running tests on her good foot to determine the blood flow there. Her circulation to her extremities has been poor and the doctors are doing everything they can to make sure that they do not have to remove any of her digits.
Aimee’s surgeon said that they are going to perform surgery in the ICU unit to remove some dead skin around the area of her amputation. This will help speed the healing of that tissue.
I cannot say enough about the wonderful work that the medical staff is doing with Aimee. One of her doctors call Aimee the “doctor’s pet”, which should give you an idea of how special she is to them here. Her nurses put pigtail braids in her hair and they call her “Heidi”. Aimee looks so cute lying there with her braids splayed out to the sides.
As I said, the level of care here is amazing, but the compassion and concern from the medical staff is on a level that I have never experienced. The Joseph M. Stills Burn and Wound Care Center is the most amazing place I have ever seen. We am so blessed to have our “Aimee girl” here.
I will provide additional details when I see Aimee later this morning.
