Update from Josh...

I took Hattie to see the wound specialist for a check up and the skin graft on her back is looking really good. Her donor site on her leg, however, is not healing as fast as the doctors want. To help it heal faster to avoid possible infection, they are going to put an apligraf over the donor site within the next couple weeks. Here's the website that has the info on this type of wound dressing http://www.apligraf.com/patient/what_is_apligraf/what_is_apligraf.html
Pretty amazing what medicine has come up with. All in all good news. Please pray for Hattie and her spirits. This year has been a hard year for her(7 surgeries with the complications) and it's easy to start getting frustrated and down about it sometimes. Thank you all.
