bandage is off
We took the bandage off last night and Eve's incision looks great (if you click on the pics to enlarge them, you can see that the incision is a zig zag. I wonder if that helps it heal nicely.). I took her to Dr Setia this morning to have him look at it (per the surgeon's request) and he poked and prodded and pronounced it fantastic. We're supposed to let the steristrips fall off on their own. We stopped for a quick haircut on the way home. She was very good for both Dr. and salon.
Adding to the list of Dr's, Eve is getting an appointment to see an Opthamologist and an Audiologist. Let me explain. I had a meeting with someone from the School System the other day. When Eve turns 3 this summer, she is no longer eligible for Babies Can't Wait. The school will take over her care. So, when school starts in August (7th!!!!! Can you believe it???), Eve will go to the special needs preschool class 4 mornings a week. They have therapists that will work with her. Anyhow, the school system needs a hearing and vision test done to start processing her. The pediatrician's office can't do it on someone so young, so he is sending her out. But, Dr. Setia said he likes to have his developmentally delayed kids tested for hearing and vision anyway, to be sure to maximize their sensory experience. Because we have the Katie Beckett waiver, I automatically agreed. I have no doubt that her vision and hearing is perfect, but it will be great to have a documented baseline. But, my black book of doctors is getting quite large.
Here are Eve and Baby taking a ride on the bike.
