Gunshot - part 3

Well now, after less than a week, my nephew gets to go home from the hospital tomorrow!  He's already been taking walks with crutches and putting weight on the injured leg.  Amazing.  It turns out that - through some miracle - the gunshot did not damage the bone, nor any nerves, nor any major blood vessels.  This is still a nasty wound, however, as evidenced by a couple of pictures taken yesterday (WARNING: These pictures are a bit graphic; two pictures of the wound can be seen here)

He's still, of course, got plenty of healing to do, and will be going to the hospital each day for a while to get the wound's dressing changed.  To have such a bad injury, however, and to be healing so quickly is incredible!
