Back to School!

Yesterday Elliot returned to school. His first day back since his procedure went well. I was hesitant because he still has some spots (and scabs) but it wasn't as noticeable as before. When we arrived at the school he said "I'm scared. It's been a long time since I've went to school." I knew he would be nervous. :( He didn't cry though! He said his day went good, and that people did ask what happened on his face. He said "I told them it's my birthmark." I don't think he felt like explaining the laser treatment, and this is his go-to response for questions like these. He said that Aislee (our best friends daughter) also told people if they asked. He is blessed to have a built in support system at school (2 siblings and 3 "cousins").

I snapped a pic of him as he was walking in. Love this little boy <3

11 days Post-Op (Treatment #17)

Yesterday was 11 days post-op and Elliot is healing up nicely. All of the scabs are in place and we are continuing to apply the products to keep them moist. We're considering sending him back to school tomorrow. The spots are still noticeable but not as "shocking" as they were in the beginning. He's missing his friends at this point.

Today we received a referral for the ENT. Elliot's tonsils have always been large and he snores a lot. I foresee a tonsillectomy in the future. Thankfully he bounces back from everything super quick so I'm not too worried.

Here's a picture of the healing process as of yesterday. :) Thanks for reading!
