Fasciotomy healing in pictures *warning* graphic photos

Throw Back 8/14/20 A few hours after being released from the hospital.   We were so happy to have him home and feeling completely incompetent in caring for him.  *WARNING* Graphic photos coming up After the last post I decided it would be cool to see the progress of Brigham's fasciotomy sites in pictures. You know what they say...a picture is worth a thousand words! It is INCREDIBLE to see these changes.   It brings me anxiety remembering the 3 times a week Wound Vac changes. The whole house dreaded it especially Brigham who had to live through the intense pain. The girls would put their ear buds in and turn up the music to drown out the yelling. Ugh!  It was horrible.  How did we survive?  I'm impressed with our strength. I am so proud of Brigham, he has been through some really hard things in the last 5 months. He has been brave and has a good attitude.  Some of these pictures we have never shown because at the time Brigham did not want to see them.  They are pretty graphic,
