Post surgery update

Sofia has done quite well after her surgery. She didn't complain of any pain and she had no problems adjusting to being a couch potato. I was really sick after her surgery so we spent a lot of time watching movies. She didn't mind.

Sofia received many well wishes

2 days post surgery

1 week post surgery

This kite kit from Kiri arrived in the mail on the second day home. Sofia got started on it right away.

1 month post surgery

Sofia's "bump" turned out to be caused by the atypical micobacterial infection after all. We went back for a post surgery checkup about a week ago and we have another checkup at the end of the month. We are watching to see that the red/purplish color clears from the skin that was on top of the bump. The doctor worked hard to save that skin and prevent a large scar but now it's a possibility there could be infected material in the skin as well and Sofia would have to be put on the heavy duty long-term antibiotics we opted to avoid by doing the surgery. Hopefully it will clear up and we will be done with this malicious "bump".
