Leg still swollen and oozy

Macey's leg is not healing like we would want it to.





It is staying very swollen and numb.  I hope the numbness is from the swelling and that the feeling will return once the swelling goes down.  She is doing wet to dry dressing changes right now, is on Cleocin for an antibiotic and is supposed to be on crutches to not bear weight on it.  She refuses to use the crutches at school but does use them here at the house.  She returns to the surgeon again Monday for another followup. The stitches still have a while till they come out.

Meanwhile she is having heartburn from the Cleocin and some problems with her colon but that should also pass when the antibiotic is done.
