Dressing removal











Hello everyone, Abe had his dressings removed this morning. The resident Dr. said everthing looks great. It's very hard for Missy right now (very emotional) his head seems very fragile, although the nurses say to treat him normally with a little TLC. Thanks to everyone for your thougths and prayers. Dr. said we should be able to come home Sat. or Sun.
Thanks,
Rod, Missy and Abe

  1. Abe is a brave, tough little man. When he hears voices he gets excited and tries to open his eyes, but the swelling and medication makes it hard. We love him very much and can't wait until he is home.

  2. Both eyes are open now he is doing very good took a bath this morning and we were able to walk the halls with him. Missy is doing better now. The initial shock was hard but she's good now and feels good.

  4. Dr. Boaz's nurse just stopped in. She said everything looks great we'll probably get to go home on Sat. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers. The good lord is always looking out for us. This place makes you realize that things could be a whole lot worse.

  5. Abes swelling has subsided considerably today. He is still swollen and could be for a month or so. He sleeps well and is doing very good. We'll try to get some more pics on here tonight.

  6. Wow, the pictures really show what he has gone through and it looks so ouchy. Mis, I am praying for you. I can't imagine how hard that would be. Give him a little kiss from me.

  7. We are home and Abe is doing great. If it weren't for the stitches you would never know he had the craniectomy. We will post pictures tomorrow. Ayden and Millie were happy to see us and we were even happier to see them. Thanks Rod, Missy, Abe, Ayden, and Amelia
