The Good Little Patient

This is 1 day after Liliah's ear drum surgery.  I took a picture of it as she wanted to see what it looked like.  She is not a dramatic child and I knew it would not scare her to see it.  It helped us explain to her why we needed to be careful and protect her boo boo

Two weeks later, it is healing up nicely.  She had her post-op with her surgeon and he wants to see her in a month.  He said the gel that they placed over the skin graft to hold it in place looks fine.  He needs to wait another month before removing it to make sure it was a success.  There is no infection so that is a good sign.  Our job is to keep water out of her ear for a while.  She was such a good little patient and never complained or cried.  She did need pain meds off/on for the first week.
