Where are we now?

This has been Simon's face since we arrived home (minus the squint from the sun). His forehead is noticeably rounder, and I don't think that any swelling is masking the new look.

The incision has looked great!


He's definitely a happy boy.


Recently, the stitches have been trimmed and are starting to come out. Today is the last day of putting ointment on the incision. His hair is growing back at ridiculous speed, and the scar is looking really good.


Dr. Ricalde did a scar revision this time around, meaning that extra skin was trimmed off to make the scar much thinner. We will apply Vitamin E oil for a while to make the skin soft, but then that should be it. We will follow up with Dr. Tuite in about 2-1/2 months. In the meantime, Simon has to sit out of P.E. and be careful. That part is putting a damper on the summer, but we have high hopes that this will be it for the surgeries.
