I think William Tell’s explanation is the most likely medical scenario background for you.
She may have been given antibiotics both oral and topical to protect the wound for now. I know my cat had a very large gash that could not be bound and we literally just kept it clean and put ointment in this wound down to the muscles until his own body sewed it back together.
I will pray that she will be OK, get to a hospital very soon and get the help she needs. Hopefully her mother will acquiesce and listen to you all!
What a horrible situation. Prayers up, Big Time.
Praying! Where is the closest children’s hospital? I would take her there immediately.
Praying now.
The idea is that if there is an infection, the pus will not go inward to spread, but can be cleaned with the new dressing. Often dirt etc that couldn’t be removed comes out too. After a few days when it is clean,you sew it up.
I am more worried that something might be on the bone.
I will keep you in my prayers.
My prayers for Lil’Bit.
be a little patient and a lot confident...if they spotted a possible tumor or bone cancer, it is not an immediate traumatic emergence...they did the right thing, they cleaned the wound (believe me, thy cleaned it thoroughly, and stabilized everything until expert help could arrive....she will be fine and your hospital staff acted with proper care and consideration....rushing her off to another facility would have gained nothing and possibly endangered her.
Prayers up for your sweet Alyssa...her docs and her caregivers....and for you and your dear sis. In Jesus’ Holy name.
Take her to another doctor immediately; preferably a huge hospital which would be staffed with all the appropriate people - and take her to the ER where even more specially trained staff are located just for these types of incidents.
Do not let incompetent people treat this as nothing.
Sit your sister down and make her listen; this could end up very badly if you don’t take the risk of doing something.
I bet they did clean the wound to the extent they could, and I bet she is now on serious antibiotics.
Everything above is a guess.
If you are going to worry about something, I'd worry more about the biopsy results than the wound.
Prayers up.
I should have added to post #74 that it was entirely appropriate for them not to close a dirty wound. Let it drain.
Take solace in prayer, for peace and calm. Truly, if this awful event were life threatening, or posed even a health risk, these doctors would never have risked liability and sent this little girl home.
If they dared not scrape perfectly the wound clean, to avoid disturbing a possibility of some kind of tumor, then be assured they sterilized the debris left behind in the wound.
No more panic. Monday comes and more specialized care can proceed nicely, with the continuing wound treatment and biopsy.
Prayers for a fine results and speedy healing are yours, for you and your dear family. Love, Rita
I will be praying. With vibrio bacteria being such a problem in the lagoon I hope your grandniece is getting the antibiotics she needs. IRMH has a very good reputation and Vero does have a lot of great doctors. However there are alternatives if the family wants her seen someplace else. University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is about 3 hours south.
O Jesus Christ our Healer and Savior and Lord, be with Thy servant and protect her from all ill, and heal her, convert her to Thy heart, and enlighten her doctors so that they can provide adequate care.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, with the saints in heaven we pray, amen.

She needs both an Infectious Disease Team and Orthopedic Surgeon. Cultures should been taken sent to the lab. Bone infections are horrendous and antibiotics should have been started as a precautionary. There are species of bacterium in the water that can be insidious and there is NO time to waste.

Prayers up - I’m praying that He aided the “accident” to uncover a previously hidden problem while it could still be effectively addressed and that all ends up well.
Trust in God.
Our Father who art in Heaven...
