Healing... Take 2

Life had calmed down a bit since The Great Scab Removal of 20-12. Poor baby slept for almost 14 hours that night and then took over a 3 hour nap that afternoon. I think all that sleep really allowed her body to start the healing process.
Each day is has gotten a little bit better. She has been staying at home all this week so we can keep the environment as "sterile" as possible. Thankfully, it is beginning to scab up which will ultimately seal it off and allow it to really heal. This kind of scab is the kind we want. It is the natural scab that occurs during the healing process of a wound. Drew is pleased that her skull is pretty much covered up. The first day after the scab removal, he stayed home with her. I was going over instructions with him about how to "nurse" the wound during the day and when I got to the part about applying a thin layer of Neosporin he stopped me. "Wait, do I put it on with my finger?" "Sure, just wash your hands first and apply a nice thin layer." "But, I might touch her SKULL!" I just laughed. This is definitely not his area of comfort, but he would do anything for his little girls.
I am including a new picture of the wound. Again... it's a little graphic. Not near as much as the first, but it's still a little tough for some people to look at. I had to snap it fast tonight because my camera battery was going dead, so it's a little blurry. The other picture is her sweet smiling face. What a picture of a precious little fighter that doesn't let all this strife in her life get her down! She's certainly my inspiration! Thanks for the prayers... keep them coming!
