This is about my son who sustained a trauma wound in February 2005 at 11 yrs old during a bike accident? |
His perineal area collided with the crossbar (close to his scrotum). This trauma wound became an open wound which eventually became chronic. His doctor sent us to Riley Children's Hospital. He was seen and treated by a surgeon for several months. This is what they tried, silver nitrate to make the wound acute again. Dry to dry packing. Wet to dry packing. Damp to dry packing. Several different creams and silver based packings were used. They performed surgery to make it acute again. The wound would never heal completely. It would always again. Three years later, three hospitals later, four doctors later, after losing two homes and three jobs as a result of doing round the clock wound care treatments, my son still is not healed. Not one doctor knows what to do. It has been miserable. We have lost everything and he still walks around with a hole in his body which makes him succeptable to sepsis which could kill him. Is there anyone out there who can help? Thank you. I live in Wisconsin. I know we have a Children's hospital in Milwaukee. I have never done business there myself, but I have never heard anything bad about them. I always hear good stuff. I hear that they are dedicated and caring. I also hear that they do not turn children away cause they don't have insurance or money. Call them and tell them the situation. Maybe they can guide u. Here are some phone numbers. |
