Pressure Wound

This poor baby! We saw the doctor again on Thursday. Her fracture is healing but you can still see the crack on the X-ray. He decided to unwrap it and actually look at it this time. When he unwrapped it, her heal was completely flat and had a quarter size black circle on it - basically a bed sore or pressure wound. I am so glad we had our appointment earlier than the 3 weeks he originally wanted. (Since we are leaving on vacation we came back at 2 and half weeks.) He said for sure he did NOT want to put another cast on her foot because this wound. Her heel and ankle are swollen and she won't walk on that foot at all yet, although I'm not sure if it's the wound on her heel or that the break in her leg is still sore. I hope she's walking by the time we get to Reid Ranch or we're in trouble.

The top of her foot had some pressure points starting to build as well. Where her foot meets her leg there was some yellowish bruising and these little red and purple pin points, like her pores were filling with blood. Her little leg is also chafed and the ridges from the cotton pads that were pressed into her leg took HOURS to fade.
