Yesterday was the big day when we got to take Addi's bandage off of her leg. It was falling off anyway, what with her running everywhere since Sunday, but we wanted the doctor to be there when the bandage came off. We wish that the doctor could have gotten a little more off, but realize that because he could only use one of her expanders, the results would be minimal. On the bright side, because it wasn't a full graft (the skin stayed attached and was just stretched), her recovery has been amazingly short. Where she didn't walk for 5 weeks after the last graft, she is already up and round, acting like nothing ever happened. So, we will consider the failed expansion a mixed blessing.
Her drains came out yesterday as well, which is painful for her. The drain on her leg would not quit bleeding last night. I was afraid that we would be making another trip to Primary's to have it checked, but this morning, it has completely stopped. Whew!
