Its been a couple of weeks since I posted anything. Nothing was really going on so I was enjoying my time. I got some scrapbook pages done and that just makes me feel so relaxed.
Anyway, Thursday Zachary had a slight incident with his cast so we took him Friday to his ortho Dr. in Syracuse (Dr. Palamino-she is not the Dr that did his surgery that was done in Boston d/t Dr. P wanting us to seek extra medical attention) to get it straightened out. First I want to say if you ever have a ortho issue please consider seeing Dr. Palamino. She is truly an amazing Dr. and the time she takes with you is worth the wait. We have never been rushed or felt like our concerns where not tended to.
So we take Zachary on Friday and they had to reline his cast. Kinda good that this all happened (See things do happen for a reason) because once we had Zachary out of the cast we noticed drainage on the inside of the cast at one of his incision sites. Well he still has the steri strips on most of his sites, so Dr said we should take those off they have been on awhile now. Well she took the strip off 1 site and it was draining, very red, and puffy. Yep 1 of the sites was infected. I was like how or why did that happen? He is in the cast and getting anything in it. I guess what happened probably she said is when they relined his cast in Boston its not a sterile procedure and just touching the fabric that is in the inside and up against him 24 hrs a day it can happen. So with seeing that she left the rest of the steri strips on because she was worried they would be at higher risk of infection too so she put him on a really strong dose of Keflex. He is taking 1tsp, 4x a day. I have to be very careful around it because I am deathly allergic to Keflex. It put me in anaphlaxis shock about 8 years ago. Last night I took the top of his cast off to air him out and make sure he was cleaned up and lotioned and the site already looks 100% better. It was scabbed and no redness.
Marissa has softball tryouts this week, I hope she makes the team. I keep telling her its very competitive with so many girls and only so many spots, so just do your best. Thats all anyone can ask of her.
Other than that, nothing special going on. Everyone is still working on the benefit planning and just enjoying our time.
