The plan this week is for Meghan to go to her hyperbaric chamber treatments on Windy Hill every morning around 6:00 am then will be returned to the hospital afterward.
Meghan's had a busy morning. Her HBO treatment was bright and early. She was able to take a nap when she got back to the hospital. Then PT arrived and got her up and walking. She walked out of the room and into the hall before returning to the chair in the room. She's eating ham and mac 'n cheese for lunch in the chair beside the bed. It's so good to see her out of that bed!
Had a good conversation with the plastic surgeon today. He said that the tissue on her leg has to "declare itself" and that may take another week to two. Once they are certain which tissue is not going to survive, they will finish debriding the wound and then she'll continue with wound V.A.C. therapy to prepare the wound for skin grafting.
Another surgery has been scheduled for Wed afternoon or Thursday morning to debride her leg wound and replace the V.A.C. dressings.

6am?! Don't they know you should be sleeping?? Glad to hear everything is going well Meg and that you're not confined to the bed now :D
Your Dad said you are having a rough day. I know it's hard, but every step forward is a step closer to the end of this long road to recovery. So keep your chin up gorgeous, there is light at the end of the tunnel...
Love and prayers.
Ew 6am. I mean...even I might be asleep when it's 6am for you.
I hates my timezone 'cause I missed seeing you when you were on the other night :< I'm glad that things are going well though. Miss you <3
Hey early riser
Glad to hear that you are doing better. Walking is great news. Love you and we are all praying for you
Meg got an award!!! YAY!!!
Get better so you can receive id :)
Wow... even -I- don't get up that early!
It's awesome that you get to walk around more now, and aren't those chairs they make you sit in, the funniest things? Pretty soon you'll be traipsing around the hallways, dragging IV poles with you. People look at you funny, but that's part of the fun of course!
Miss you lots!
MEG.
Hun, it's Ela. <3
I'm so sorry to hear about the accident, but I'm so glad to hear you're okay and getting much much better. <3
I can't wait 'til I talk to you again, cause I've missed you. :\
To think I'd come back to HOL to find out thiiis.
But so glad you're getting better.
I love you and I hope to talk to you soon.
You'll be in my prayers,

Dude, you so deserve ice cream. Do they serve ice cream there? Or is, like, it strictly GRR GOOD FOOD? Somehow, some way, I will so sneak into the ICU and bring you some, if that is a no. I will get a tux and everything and do the whole "Bond. James Bond." thing. Not even kidddingg. That would be the best.
Well, I take that back. The best would be like me getting every single fictional character you've ever dreamed about in your dreams to come see you all at once. Although..that could be a bit dangerous to your health... but it would be the best!!
Also, I really want to hear more of your maybe-possibly 'explanations' for some things that you may or may not have given to certain people that are not me and the majority of the people on the spider thing?. If you catch my drift? [looks up and COUGHS] That would be very enjoyable. xD
I love you hun, and I'm so glad you're getting better so fast-ish! It makes momma proud!...and I know you're gonna just be like "O_o You are not my 'momma'". But just go with it [wink wink, nudge nudge]. Truuuuust meeee. But, yes, lovelovelove bunches times millions times thouusands times tennant. (Yes, he is a number too... Since, like, his existence, thats when... WOMAN DONT MESS WITH YO MOMMA!). Gosh, look at me. I AM MAKING UP OUR CONVERSATIONS....that is SAD...>__>
And to the REAL momma, thank you again for the lovely blogg. It keeps me sane some days, it does! <33
Okay, my random comment o' doom is complete. I must start actually doing work now...(aka, I'm going to go to sleep in like 5 mins) Remember - Dont forget to wash behind your earrrs <3
Oh, and btw....one more thing.... PICKLE SURPRISE!!! ;)
I'm so happy to hear that your skin has to "declare itself" that made me giggle! Love you! I'm going to be stopping by again after finals which r over Wednesday!!!!
Meghan!!! Who are those cuties in that picture? I am going to visit you when I am back home!
