jsharr ★ Posted August 21, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 21, 2014 She got to come home last night for good. Still has a ton of work ahead of her, but she is home. Has not gotten her prosthetics yet, but has been fitted, is doing research on the different types, etc. She is in a very cool power chair that can do tons of stuff. Glad that she has moved on to this point of the journey. Looking forward to the next trip to the ranch with them, which is something she said that she would never be able to do again early on. It may be the only semi negative thing she has said, but now I know that this will happen and soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked really grim there for a while Yep, today at breakfast, my youngest told me, I am glad Miss Kathryn came home last night. I thought she was going to die at first." Tough words for a nine year old to have to express. I cannot imagine the thoughts that have gone through the heads of that whole family. Actually I can, but I just do not want to imagine things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted August 21, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 21, 2014 Glad to hear this. If I remember correctly she's relatively young and otherwise healthy correct? Is she a transplant candidate? I don't know how successful they are, but there have been hand transplants at our hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how successful they are, but there have been hand transplants at our hospital. I do not think she is a transplant candidate, but I do not know that for sure. It has not been discussed would be a better answer, but I will ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted August 21, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 21, 2014 You're the Google king, do a search for hand transplant. I'd hate to think she's limiting her options. This article talks about a guy who lost all four appendages due to infection, then got new hands and can play the piano again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtermite Posted August 21, 2014 Share #10 Posted August 21, 2014 Great news! Remind me....what limbs had to be removed? I've got a friend who works on the prosthetics industry. If they need it, I may be able to connect them for Q&A/advice. Let me know if that's something they may need/desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also lost left pectoral and left upper arm muscles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
