Update on Emilee

Jun 22, 2026

I know it’s been a while since we have posted an update. As of right now, Emilee is still seeing the plastic surgeon, that did the muscle transplant and skin graft on her foot. She is out of her walking boot, and using the crutches minimally. She is still seeing the orthopedic doctor for the tendons in her foot, he is keeping a close watch on her foot, as another surgery is still not out of the question, as of right now. If they do have to do another procedure , it will be a tendon transfer to keep her toes from curling under, which could limit her walking. Emilee is seeing the physical therapist weekly, as well as working on her exercises at home daily. Though she is getting around, she is not running any marathons anytime soon. As many know, I am self employed, and her father’s employer doesn’t offer health insurance, yes we have priced it out privately and marketplace, and the monthly cost is unbelievable. Every doctors appointment as well as therapy is costing a fortune out of pocket, and putting a big strain on us financially, if you feel compelled to donate to her continued treatment, we would be greatly appreciative, if you can’t, we understand, please share and keep her healing journey in your prayers. She still has a long road ahead of her.
