Mallory will be going to the plastic surgeon on Tuesday, Sept. 13th for a follow-up. As mentioned in the previous update, Mallory had an abdominal incision that began to open. It is still opened. She went to the surgeon 5 weeks ago, and though the surgeon was disappointed the incision was opened, he was pleased that it appeared to be healing. 

Mallory continues to dress the wound and pack it twice a day. The opening is about 12 cm long and 3 cm wide. Mallory noted that the depth inside has improved. She had been previously been told it would take about 6 weeks to close up and heal; however, it is about to be 6 weeks. Continue to pray for the complete healing of this wound and that this incision, and another small one that has opened, will close and quickly heal. 

Mallory also started physical therapy about 3 weeks ago due to continued back issues she has had this past year. The sessions are going well!

On another note, Mallory started back at school teaching. She is also coaching middle school volleyball. We know her students and players are blessed to have her as a teacher & coach!
