No more bandages

Addi had her grafting surgery seven weeks ago. She has been bandaged ever since, wearing slippers everywhere she went. So, we sent pictures to the doctor this week, and he said that her leg looks great, and that we no longer needed to bandage it! Woo hoo! She wore shoes to pre-school today, although she said that they were a little "squishy" on her toes. We are so happy with how this one looks.

This upper part hasn't been bandaged for some time now. I left in uncovered to breathe a few weeks ago, and she picked the scab off, but left this beautiful skin underneath, so I made the bandage smaller.

She picked off the little scabs at the bottom of her leg when she went down for her rest yesterday...a little blood, a bandage for the rest of the day, and today, all healed. Maybe that is why she needed to keep those crazy expensive bandages on for so long, so that she wouldn't pick at the darn thing.


And in other, related news, Addi will have another expander placed on March 2. We are on the downhill side of this whole surgery thing.
