Hmmm. I tried to come up with a more catchy title, but I'm drawing a blank. Besides, that's what this post is going to be about, anyway. So here goes.......
Once again, we THINK we're encouraged. It's kind of another "let's wait until next week" game again, but we remain hopeful. The great new is that one of Jesse's little hands is now free from bandages! Whoo-hoo! How I love seeing those little pudgy fingers wiggling all around and picking things up again. He's already far less frustrated, as well, so that's really nice.
As far as the other hand goes, the plastic surgeon wants to wait another week to see if it heals any more. He said that it's made progress, but he really want to see it start to heal more significantly. If it hasn't done so in a week's time, than he said we'll talk surgery. It's still really raw and goopey. I guess there comes a point where a burn will only heal so much before it needs a skin graft. We asked if he could take the graft from one of us, but he said he could only do that with identical twins. He said that he was hopeful, though. So we are too!
We'll keep you posted.
Just a side note: A friend researched the top ways that kids burn themselves. Curling irons made the top three list! Me thinks this girl's hair is going straight from now on......
