Prayers on the way.
Prayer BTTT
This was me at age 13. I have the scars to prove it.
Orthopedic surgeons are varied, and hospitals will only allow certain ones to do certain things. First off is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. These are rare. (I LIVED in the hospital for the first 6 years of my life constantly under the knife)
Tumors happen, and most tumors (like 90% or something high) are not cancerous. I’m riddled with them. None of them are cancerous.
Tumors are caused by a screwed up DNA strand. Things grow where they shouldn’t grow. It can be any number of things, few of those things are things to worry about, really.
Certain debris can be left alone for debriding. Debriding sand is probably the second most painful experience for a kid. The first would certainly be a spinal tap. But it’s excruciating and it’s lasting. Sand and dirt aren’t necessarily bacteria-riddled and they may have done cleaning without removing all of the sand. That debriding may need her to be knocked out under anesthesia. If that’s the case, a pediatric anesthesiologist is rarer than a pediatric orthopedic doctor.
They’ll need her calm and getting the 24 hour prep for surgery. If you move her that prep starts all over. Emergency surgery is VERY risky without the proper pre-op.. especially for a kid. I woke up during my leg surgery when I was 12 and .. lets just say I remember it.
Stay calm. Talk to people. Allow the staff to pre-op her.
Prayers sent for all your family.
Prayers for the young lady’s health and successful treatment.
Praying for Alyssa and your whole family, FRiend.
May God bless you and yours!
Cancer cells are mutated versions of normal human cells. The mutation will cause the cancer cells to grow without any external signal from the rest of the body. Despite the mutation, the cells can be otherwise normal.
In many types of cancer the abnormality causes the cells to proliferate from a single mutated cell into a tumor. As the tumor grows it can also cause the creation of additional arteries, veins, and capillaries in order to provide oxygen and nutrients to the tumor cells.
Now comes the important part.
If cancers are detected early enough, many patients can experience a complete cure by "simply" removing all of the cancer cells. This sometimes requires removing some or all of an organ that contains the tumor and some organs can tolerate partial or complete removal.
The problem is that recurrence of the cancer may happen if only a single cancer cell is left in the body. The removal of a cancerous tumor requires great care to ensure that no cancer cells are spilled from the tumor into the rest of the body.
Now comes another really important part.
Tumors sometimes tend to grow so much and so fast that they outgrow the ability of the circulatory system to keep them alive. This can result in necrosis of the tumor; that is, some of the cells die. The resulting tumor can then become very unstable and likely to shed cells into areas that were otherwise tumor-free.
The upshot of this is that the process of removing a tumor is complicated by the necessity of handling it with great care so as to ensure that every single cancer cell is removed.
I can understand how the risk of disturbing a tumor in a patient might be so high as to postpone treatment for a wound in order to evaluate the tumor and establish optimum conditions for successful surgery to remove it.
I'm not a doctor but I've met a lot of them recently and this is my understanding of the issues I have described.
Sending prayers.
My bones sometimes bruise and temporary knots swell. Been doing that all my life. Perhaps whatever cut her also bruised the bone?
Prayers up for the little lady’s rapid healing and wisdom for her family.

and dont panic yet on the cancer things. Was told that once and it was pneumonia on lungs.
Prayers. May this be solved, and soon, and the child healed. Amen.
Prayers for your granddaughter and entire family!
If I was in your situation, have the child’s mother go back to the ER with you or other witness and demand that a referral to another ER with on-call Orto backup, and say you are willing to drive to that hospital.
Such a hospital can’t be more than a 2 hour drive away. Get on her medical chart a full description of the wound and the ‘cancer’, and the reasons why they could not get it cleaned up.
There may be valid reasons why they can’t get it cleaned up. But there is risk of infection so I would not wait to get to another ER.
It sounds to me from the scenario you out lined the ER staff thinks there is an osteosarcoma or something similar. Depending on how advanced will determine if she keeps her leg or life.
If you don't fully clean a deep wound, your presuming the limb must be removed.
Something in the story is wrong.
FATHER GOD,
Thank You for Who You are - The GREAT I AM, SOVEREIGN GOD, our HOPE, and STRONG TOWER to Whom we run. Nothing is impossible for You.
We lift Alyssa up to You. You say, “I know the plans I have for you, plans for good and not for evil to give you a future and a hope. Thank You for protecting Alyssa even when she was in the womb. May Your will and Your plans be done in Alyssa’s life.
We speak to infection, we speak to cancer, we speak to tumor. You must bow to the name of JESUS. Every name must bow to the CREATOR of the Universe, who won the victory through His perfect life, death, and resurrection! Praise Your holy Name. We curse these fowl names and command them to shrivel up in the Name of JESUS.
May the HOLY SPIRIT surge through Alyssa’s body and restore every cell, every blood vessel.
Be with Alyssa’s mother. Soften her heart. May there be reconciliation in the family.
We thank You for a good report. In the name of Your only Son JESUS CHRIST we pray. Amen.
Prayed.
Get her to Miami Children’s Hospital, now renamed Nicklaus (after the golfer who has given tens of millions to the hospital)
Or Arnold Palmer Children’s in Orlando.
Do not mess around with the JV.
