We are back on the road between Jacksonville and Gainesville again! My daughter was put back in the hospital on Monday because her knee swelled up like a grapefruit. A decision was made to do a clean-out last night and a lot of old blood from an internal bleed was found.
She is much better now, but the ortho docs are consulting again with hematology and genetics because of her EDS. We are just so thankful that the surgery was successful and pray that she will heal rapidly. She will need an allograft on this knee too, but cannot have it until the source and cause of the bleeding is found. However, she is a trooper. Except for the pain, she rarely complains and went into the OR telling me not to worry. She reaffirms my faith, everyday!
I hope everything goes well. I work with a TON of Ortho and Neuros in Jacksonville and Gainesville so I'm sure she's in great hands.
