Hi everyone! Sorry we didn't get anything posted over the weekend. Here is a pic of Sam @ lunch today. So 3 days from the last photo. His swelling goes down a little bit more every day! His balance seems better as well. Yesterday some friends from church came to visit & brought their boys. It was great to spend some time talking with them. Another friend Lu brought dinner & it was amazing!We are starting to notice many of the plates & screws right now which make his head look a bit uneven. For those of you facinated by science (like myself)... the stitches, plates & screws are all made of materials that will break-down over time & be absorbed by Sam's body. We were told that the entire process takes 6-9 months normally but can take up to a year. So, from our perspective, Sam's head can essentially look differently on any given day. Underneath all of those plates, Sam's skull will be repairing itself & filling in bone.
Our normal schedule begins again today which Ted & I were both looking forward to. Ted went back to work today so I am home with Sam. Tomorrow I head back to work & then on Wednesday, the almost 1 year old I get to take care of will be here with us. I've missed him & so has Sam!
We love you all! Thanks for all your prayers & support...
Plates and screws breaking down. Dude, that's cool. He's like Bionic Boy. But funnier. :)
