It will be nice not to have to change the dressing every day, like they are right now. Now we will be doing triple anti-biotic cream or lotion on everyday. So that is not that bad! I can not wait!
He will still have to wear the splints on his arms to protect his hands. He will wear those for quite a bit, and then we will wean off. We will probably know more tomorrow or in the coming month(s).
He got bronchitis last week.. Totally sucked poor guy.. But he still has had days where he has a fever.. its here and then it goes away.. Totally weird. We will talk with the doctors tomorrow about that.
Tomorrow will be a busy day, we have an appointment with our OT (occupational therapist).. and then we head to Springfield for an appointment with the burn doctors, and we are hoping to have a nice lunch as well somewhere in there. :)
I was thinking today when I was cooling the babe's food, how much this is going to set him back. He was already feeding himself 85% of the time. I would just give him chopped/mashed food, and he would go to town, and pretend to use a spoon. Now, I have to feed him everything. And until he is allowed time without the splints and feels comfortable grabbing food, he will continue being fed. I was thinking how that milestone will be further delayed. As for other milestones, he is still doing well.
He has been standing here and there, still a little nervous, but he has been doing it. Although I really don't hold an early walker as the last two didnt walk until 15 months-ish, and they were standing as well.
I just can't believe he will be a year here in a month and half.
We have another birthday coming up soon, my wonderful husband.
The other kids are doing good.
Isaac is as stubborn as they come.. Man I sure hope the kindergarten teachers have lots of patience for him next year! I have really been working on him with his numbers and alphabet, but he is stubborn.
Kahleb however I was counting with him earlier.. I counted to 5 (pointing to numbers at the same time) and stopped. He then pointed to six, and said six! I was a very proud mama at this point!
And Ryan is doing good too, reading a whole bunch and learning. He loves to learn! Always eager to please.
Now to a couple pics...
