Well it was hard to wait a whole week because I wanted to see what it looked like but today we finally took Eden's bandage off. I am so pleased with the result. The cut stayed closed and seems to be sealed shut. It was open about a quarter inch before. I didn't take any pictures before but trust me, it looks so much better. There is not really much scabbing and it feels very smooth like there isn't a lot of scar tissue forming. The important thing now is to keep it out of the sun and keep it moist. I found that Maderma now makes a cream that has SPF 30 in it. I have to put it on 3 times a day for 2 months!!! The only reason I care so much is because it is right there on her cheek. I have a family member who has dealt with a prominent facial scar her whole life and I just don't want Eden to have to deal with that. I hope that after 2 months it will not even be noticeable. I think she is in good shape thanks to the tape that the doc put on. I agree it was the best thing now that I see the results.
We went to visit Peter for lunch on Saturday in Stockton and went to our favorite pizza place. This is the kids watching the virtual roller coaster. I thought it was kind of neat to see all of there profiles lined up like that.
