Leah Catlin's Burn Support
Plan A and divert is the name of the game in this journey. Leah was fully sedated for this mornings surgery. The plan A was to make a plaster cast for just Leah’s pinky and then a separate cast for her arm. This didn’t work because Leah’s pinky is too small.
Plan B, the OTs created another cast that fits her hands and stretches her fingers. It’s got one opening so that we can check her for open sores and bruising and it can be taken off for intentional play time to get her to use her right hand. Leah did really well with the sedation and has had a pretty good day. She’s not a fan of pinky stretch owie but that’s to be expected.
Unfortunately on the way home we were contacted by the Burn team and the burn surgeon has requested to see Leah in person on Wednesday to discuss next steps. We haven’t seen the surgeon in person since her last grafting procedure. There is a burn team of NPs, nurses, OTs, PTs, etc that have handled all the appointments and Leah was scheduled to start Laser with the doctor next week so this early in person request means there’s must be another change of plans.
Ways to Pray!
- Pray for the doctor as we are working to determine next steps on the care plan
- Pray for no blistering or bruising from the current cast and that we can regain some progress with her contractures.
- Pray over Leah’s anxiety in general and not just at appointments.
