It all started when a dog came into the yard and Jasper told Rebecca to come in to tell me to come and see how it looked so much like our dog. When she ran through a forbidden area, that she forgot was forbidden, and ended up with a puncture wound to her heal.
I could tell by looking at it something was not right with this cut. it was not bleeding, and you could tell it was deep. Jasper got his flash light and some tweezers to see if the object was still in her foot. Sure enough it was. After about 20 minutes of her yelling as he dug trying to remove it, we decided to load up and take her to RMH. Now in my mind I am thinking, we will go and get this removed and worse case she will have stitches. NEVER did it ever cross my mind our little girl would have to go into an operating room for surgery! It was a piece of glass a bit larger than a dime and was in the bottom of her heel next to the bone.
Once in OR they had to do a constant xray nearly just to be sure they were getting to it. They managed to get it all and she is resting at home after an overnight stay at the hospital. They ran antibiotic to be sure no infections begin.
I did not sleep well as you can imagine. I had Cassia with me and she did well. It was just to much noise for me. Not to mention all the worry with Rebecca.
We got home today around noon. She is now resting in one of the recliners. Dr Courtney sent her home with crutches. I will try to get a picture of that and add later.
