Back home...again!

Mary is back home...again! This all feels like dejavu, don't you think? It seems like I just wrote this same post - only it was three weeks ago! Let's just hope this is the last "coming home from the hospital" post there is! Anyway, Mary, Kyle, and my mom all drove home from the hospital in Salt Lake on Wednesday afternoon. The drive home was pretty uneventful, and Mary tolerated it quite well. Thursday morning the three of them headed in to The Elks Wound Center in Boise for Mary to receive her wound care and physical therapy. Hurray...they don't have to do it at home by themselves anymore (well, except for the weekends). That is the good news. The bad news is that it took 6 hours at the Wound Center for them to do it all! It's a full day. So even though they're home, they're not really "home." But that will come with time, I'm sure. Today it was closer to four hours, so it's improving already. When they saw the doctor on Thursday (after Mary asked him if he knew anything about burns!), the doctor said that he thought her legs were looking really good. Both the Boise doctor and the doctor in Salt Lake see a pinkish color in her legs, which is a really good sign, but they both also acknowledge a couple of small areas that aren't looking great and will need to be watched closely. Hopefully those will clear up soon!! The wound care and physical therapy will be taken care of at home until Tuesday, and Mary will actually be traveling back to Utah next week to be fitted for her compression pants. She is walking unassisted, although it is pretty slow. But considering that she just had surgery last week?? She's doing great! Thanks for checking in!
