Treatment #20: Post-op days #5 & 7

The week has flown by, and Elliot is 7 days into his recovery period. His spots are healing nicely and he had very minimal scabbing. He had a small spot next to his nose, a small spot next to his top lip, and a small spot under his eye. They are very small compared to scabs he's had in the past, and I'm very pleased with this treatment. 

Usually recovery means a lot of downtime but this time has been different. On Tuesday Elliot went to his Ninja gymnastics class, with a face full of spots. He walked in with his head held high and I watched his demeanor stay the same throughout class. One child asked him what happened, and he told them he had laser surgery. That's it. So matter-of-factly. I could not be more proud of him.

Tomorrow we head to co-op at the local library. We are studying geography with Mrs. Linda this year, and a whole room full of other kids! We're learning about Africa and will begin working on our African culture project at home this week.

Treatment 20, Post-op Day 1

Elliot slept like a rock last night. He's usually awake mid-way through my shift (I teach ESL online) and today he slept through all of my classes until 10am! He woke up extremely swollen, which we were prepared for. He's currently holding a bag of frozen corn on his eye to open it a little more. This is another solid treatment by Dr. Orringer, and I'm pleased to see that he went heavy on his lower cheek. That's always been the most stubborn area. Oh, and we're still rocking that pony spout. ;)
