Wow 4 months have already gone by!! It's crazy to think it all changed that long ago!! Well just at the 4 month mark, I was cuddling with Lucas one day and noticed that the spot on his incision scar that took the longest to heal, had kinda skinned off. This started to worry me as is something going on or did he just bump his head on something?? This very active 15 month old little boy, was all over the place that day and I couldn't even think of where or when he may have bumped his head!!
Well I thought about it for a while and finally after everyone but me was in bed, I decided I would e-mail his surgeon with my concerns and then take a picture in the morning.
I got a response the very next morning, saying send the pictures when able and that there shouldn't be anything with the incision line and his surgery at this point, like I was thinking. So after like 20 attempts I got 2 pictures that I was able to send along, and Alan looked at them and again just told me what I had thought all along.
So here I am thinking, why did you just do that, you knew that from being a nurse, but again like I have told myself several times in the last little while, I'm a mother first, and am allowed to be irrational at times, and let my imagination free!!
Well now another few days later and I look at this new spot and can see that it is healing very well, and keep thinking to myself that this should have been the way I was thinking all along!! But Lucas is fine no infection and it is definitely not stopping him, especially when he knocks over a box so he can climb onto it and then get up on my coffee table!! He is such a smart little mischievous boy!!! So when that little scab falls off I will be so happy.
In April we will again see opthamology as Lucas had a little bit of a lazy eye prior to surgery, but well baby check this week showed that, they didn't see any signs of that so I'm really happy about that!!
So until next time!!
