Bettyjo Update

Bettyjo went to see Dr. Willet yesterday, and while the diagnosis was expected, she got some bad news. He thinks the reason the wound on the neck is opening again is that "something" is trying to work its way out. It could be another stitch, which is most likely, it could be something else he just cannot tell from the exterior. She will begin treating it with silver nitrate, and and keep it covered as before. If it does not heal he may have to open it up a bit to allow what ever is trying to get out a path. We really thought that this part of the recovery was over, and we are all very disappointed that it is not. She will see Dr. Willet again in three weeks.
