Oh happy day. Layla does not need a graft done. The burn looks awesome and is healing on it's own. We are going to have to do some physical therapy on her hand and elbow to make sure that the new skin doesn't scar too tightly and cause problems later, but that's no big deal.
She was amazing AGAIN. As we were driving to the doctor's office, she recognized the intersection and asked if we were going to the doctor. When I told her that we were, she started talking about how brave she was going to be and how she could tell her friends about it. Her good mood and optimism lasted until they called us back. Then she got a weepy.
But all in all, it was a great appointment. No pain. No scary procedures. And another round of thank yous when it was over, quickly followed by a happy meal.
I feel like I can finally breath. Thank you EVERYONE for your positive thoughts, dances around trees while naked, slaughtering of innocent animals, and any prayers that went out. I appreciate it all, from the bottom of my heart.

ReplyDeleteSo glad she is recovering so well and fast! You have an amazingly brave little warrior on your hands. That's totally a reflection of her amazing mama. -KelMB
