May 31 was a happy day for our family celebrating Elise and her high school graduation❤️.
Sadly, Sairyn’s foot got accidentally stepped on by a stilleto high heel that night and it has dominated our life since!
Air cast boot, crutches, pain, swelling, bruising, xray, 2 ultrasounds, a trip to children’s emergency department for blood work and re-assessment. MRI recommended and finally the answer for ongoing pain, swelling and inability to weigh bear….
Cellulitis. A serious tissue infection seen on MRI.
I’m a physio and knew that her foot looked worse than what the normal healing should look like. It never got better, only worse. More swelling. More bruising. More pain.
What I have learned in all of this… keep advocating for your health. Your kids health. If something is getting worse or doesn’t measure up, ask questions. Get help.
After hours of driving to appointments, sitting in the ER waiting room, paying for parking 🙄🤪, my girl is on the beginning of healing!! IV antibiotics followed by 10 days of oral meds.
Continuing to pray for her foot, her health, spirit and my fragile heart 🫣😉.
So so thankful for the amazing care we have in our city of Calgary at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Doctors and nurses are phenomenal ❤️
