KD had a second surgery to close the wound. Doctor said the infection had actually destroyed a little of the heel bone so it had to removed. He placed antibiotic beads in the wound, made sure the tendons were intact and closed the wound. He felt like the infected tissue was all removed and now it was just a matter of time. During her hospital stay she was also being seen by an infectious disease specialist who determined it was a staph infection but not MRSA and she would be treated with antibiotic IV.
