Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Hi a I will keep you up to date on the progress we make. All these issues are worth fighting for,if not for us,for all the other RA patients entering new drug studies. My foot is a huge problem at the moment. I will know next Tuesday if I need a skin graft where the ulcer is.Another problem developed a week ago where my same toe keeps getting huge water blisters for no reason. I have bathed my foot twice a day for weeks now in salt water,wear my Birkenstocks all the time so have no idea nor does the doctor as to why these blisters keep coming. Now,of course,the whole toe is infected so I am back on antibiotics again. My niece has finally been discharged from Childrens Hospital in Washington and will have the rest of the treatment here at Sick Kids in Toronto. This is something new and someone is going to train the staff in the burn unit how to do it. It is called transite skin and costs $1000 per sheet but it shortens the recovery time by about 75% or more. received such wonderful care at this hospital,she and her Dad will long remember the many kind people that helped in so many different ways. Several of the nurses nick named her the little Canadian and presented her with a very pretty cotton nightie and matching housecoat.Lots of thank you letters are being sent to our US friends by family members here toshow our appreciation.
