UPDATE #2: Medical Mystery


Sorry for the lack of posts the past couple days.  I am so mentally and physically exhausted by the time I get home from work I just cannot sit down and blog.  It probably wouldn't make any sense anyway.

So Sara had her surgery on Wednesday! It went well.  When they got in there, there was all of this "brown fuzzy stuff" (this was the most technical term the surgeon could come up with...he had no idea what it was, haha!) all around and intertwined in her tendons and bone.  When he scraped that stuff away, he found a huge boil that invaded the main knuckle of her finger and had spread all up and down her finger when it had no more room to grow out anymore.  Still no word on what caused all this, but she has a surgeon, infectious disease doctor, and a rheumatologist on her case and tons of cultures were sent off, so hopefully when those results come back there will be an answer.  We are just glad the surgery is over and hopefully this won't happen again!

Morning after surgery. She had to have a drain to drain the excess fluid.
At the doctor's office the next day to get the drain out.
Poor hand. :(

Love,
The Wises

  1. I'm glad the surgery is over. Poor Sarah - what a crazy thing to happen. I hope this is the end of it and it heals up quickly. It looks very painful right now. Please give her my love!
