Things were looking so good for us to go home today. She was feeling good, eating, and drinking. Then we took her head wrap off to change the dressing and I noticed that the trouble spot was opening back up a little. I immediately sent pictures to her surgeon, Dr. Schmelzer. He was busy with patients up in his office in SLC all day so then he called a fellow surgeon that is down here that we all trust and he came and checked it out for him. He recommended we wait a couple days until the swelling goes down and then we can put a stitch or 2 back in to close it up. He let Dr. Schmelzer know and so now Schmelzer will come down in the morning and check it out and decide what we want to do.
We (including Schmelzer) are all heart broken and just super frustrated. Braylee is not happy and super sad to be staying another night and I really hope it's an easy fix. I don't know if we can handle telling her she's going back into the OR again right now.
It's just not fair. Send some happy thoughts and prayers her way. We need to catch a break somewhere.
Picture warning ⚠️⚠️....
Pictured below are pictures of her incision. First from the OR yesterday that Dr. Schmelzer took and it looked perfect and then today.
