So this morning I took Brooklynd in for what I had hoped would be his last appointment. They removed his bandage which he was again a trooper for, it was stuck with some yuckies- so they soaked his finger and removed it while he screamed. He got a cookie and I read him a book that helped the tears. After removing it Dr. Mirarchi said it appeared he had a bit of an infection and he would be on antibiotics immediately. He suggested I soak it in the bath and wrap it so there is no more risk of additional infection. The main concern at this point is if the infection doesn't cease from the antibiotics it could infect the bone and they would have to again do surgery to remove part of the bone...arrghh...we are praying the antibiotics work, as you can imagine! I will be so thankful when this whole process is over. It has been almost 2 months since it began- I never dreamed it wouldn't be over with. We go back in on the 2nd of January for his checkup...wish us well!
