STi modding on hold... need some "prayers" for wifey

[Shady]

To start at the beginning, my wife’s family was visiting last weekend (not this past weekend) and they asked to bring their dog and we said that was fine but asked them to keep it on a leash and out of our house because my dog is very protective / territorial. Well needless to say, they didn’t listen and let their dog walk right into our house and it went straight to my dog’s food bowl. Well my dog went off (being the protective breed she is) and attacked their dog. My wife instinctively jumped in to break them up and in the confusion my dog accidentally bit my wife very badly. It completely ripped through the skin almost all the way around her thumb and went about 3/4 of the way through the actual bone. The tip of her thumb was pretty much hanging off at the knuckle. She went to the ER and luckily they were able to save her thumb but it was in pretty rough shape.

Fast forward to today, she had her 2nd follow-up appointment to see how the wound was healing and we got some pretty bad news. Apparently the wound is pretty badly infected and basically the doctor said that we have until Wednesday to see some improvement in the infection or else they are going to have to go the surgical route and re-open and scrape all of the infection out.

So needless to say, she is not working and the only disability her work has is the state which is very minimal… so all STi modding has come to a complete halt in lieu of higher priorities. So no FMIC is going to be getting done anytime soon.

Ok, now that the manly stuff out of the way, I’d like to ask you guys to do my wife and I a favor and keep her in your “prayers” that this infection goes away. If it does not, then best case scenerio is they have to do the surgery (and repeat multiple times if necessary) and if that doesn’t do it, there is a good chance she could end up losing her thumb… so we area really hoping this infection goes away.

Thanks guys!!

Wow, crazy to think a quite bite could do so much damage, but i’ve seen it many times. Hope your wife recovers quickly and fully!
