This is a 53 year old patient that was diagnosed with diabetes at 13. She has had chronic leg ulcers since 2021 with previous surgical vein treatments. She had failed conservative treatment by other providers. During our treatment, she had several other medical issues that delayed her progress. After several months of treatment her wounds closed. She was also seen by lymphedema while we managed her wounds. All along her treatment she was instructed in measures to help prohibit similar wounds in the future.

We are truly blessed in being able to walk alongside those in their ostomy journeys and this is one of their stories!

This patient upon presenting to the ER was diagnosed with diverticulitis. As a result they received a temporary ostomy. After arriving to our clinic she received education,lifestyle coaching, and assistance in personalized supplies. She is planned to receive her reversal at the end of the month!

Even in the case where our paths are crossed for a short period of time we are apart of one another’s story of life forever!

Here is the cookies she baked for our clinic as a parting gift! HOW TALENTED IS OUR PATIENT!!!💩🤎

Last week the average age of our four new ostomy patients was 50 years old. All diagnosed with colon cancer and receiving ostomies as a result. Current guidelines recommend getting your first colonoscopy at the age of 45, so don’t wait and get your colonoscopy! 🩺

This patient was struck by a shopping cart on her heel on 7/8/24. This caused a deep avulsion exposing her Achilles tendon. She was first seen in a local ER where the wound was sutured. We initially saw her at Wound Ostomy Care Clinic on 7/16/24. This patient had several comorbidities that delayed her wound healing. Extensive wound cleaning, debridement and antimicrobial treatment with an insulating cover dressing was initiated. The distal skin flap was deemed non-viable and removed with sharp debridement on 07/29/24. She eventually had four applications of cellular tissue products which led to the wound closing in about two months.

This patient contacted our office regarding a diabetic foot ulcer she had had since 2017. She had been seen by several providers and wound clinics in our area with little progress. She had undergone surgeries in the past at the site and the possibility of an amputation had been mentioned at one point due to osteomyelitis. When she contacted our office, she asked if the same provider would see her at each visit. She pointed out that currently she would see a different provider at each of her visits and she felt that this hampered the treatment of her wound. We told her at the Wound Ostomy Care Clinic she would see one of our two providers at each visit and most of the time she would see both during those visits. We began treating her on 7/19/2023. At the onset we had to address several issues for this wound to heal. These included her diet, blood sugar management, wound care at home, smoking, infection of the wound and proper off-loading. She said she had “ heard it all before”. Over time she began to see positive results of our treatment and became more compliant with the treatment plan. She also had a daughter at home with a medical background that helped her with her care, and this helped a great deal. Once she was "all in" the wound progressed rapidly and the wound was closed by July 2024. At the Wound Ostomy Care Clinic we realize every wound cannot be treated with an algorithm or cookie cutter mentality. You must listen to each patient to know what steps you need to take to help them reach the outcome they desire. Upon discharge the patient stated she was going to celebrate.
