Ly's horrific surgery

In Krati Megan treats a girl who had an immunisation. The needle entered her muscle instead of being subcutaneous causing a contracture of her quadricep muscle (the muscle spasmed and tightened in response to the injection). So the surgeon for some reason decided it would be a good idea to take some of the skin from Ly's knee and calf and attach it to her thigh. Ly is seven years old. She cannot walk as her muscles are very weak and she has gruesome scars on her legs. Megan tries to strengthen and stretch Ly's muscles and massage the scar. They do this twice a day. But Ly will need a lot more treatment than she will be get. It is unlikely that she will fully recover, she needs surgery to remove the scar tissue because it is severely impacting her function. Megan has requested the clinic send her updates on Ly's progress.
