Fantastic News!

Wednesday's bone biopsy went well and the infection looks like it has cleared (doctors will continue to culture the biopsy for 10 days to be sure).  The fantastic news is Lori was able to move forward with the bone graft on Friday.  Doctors took bone from her thigh (just above the knee) and grafted it to the ankle area.  The doctor was extremely optimistic.  During the procedure, he stated that the bone still looked very healthy and bled well - all good signs for successful bone graft.  Lori came home from the hospital Saturday afternoon and is much more comfortable at home.  She is in some pain, but the pain meds are helping her rest.  Lori will continue on the pain meds as well as a 3 week injection of medication to prevent blood clots that can sometimes occur from disturbing the bone marrow.
