2 steps forward...1 step back

Well of course we started to feel pretty comfortable with recovery and then BAM, brought back to reality. After her shower on Sunday night I was doing her hair and combing her hair back from her scar line when a scab suddenly popped and a bunch of pus came out. This is of course in a spot that wasn't in one of the big trouble spots either.We took pictures and sent them to her surgeon, seriously love that we can contact him on weekends about anything! We tried topical antibiotics on it the last couple days but it's still wet/oozing and there's a hole now. So she is now back on antibiotics for at least 10 days. We went a whopping 27 days with no antibiotics. I'm trying really hard to not feel defeated but this recovery is seriously the hardest one we've ever done and she still has the monster surgery to come. So please pray that the antibiotics work and we don't have to go down the road of another infection clean out surgery. This poor tough little girl needs to catch a break.
