Connor is improving

Today marked a milestone for Connor’s recovery…

Mommy and Daddy had to take Connor’s bandages off today.  Something that supposedly only should have taken 20-30 minutes ended up taking nearly 1.5 hours.  Daddy had to call the doctor to get some reassurance that he was doing it right.   Connor sat in the tub the entire time.  His feet and my hands looked like raisins by the time we were done.

The problem was Daddy had to find the end of the “plastic wrap” bandage and peel it back.  Well, imagine for a second that you tightly wrapped a piece of fruit in saran wrap (plastic wrap).  So tight that you can’t find the the edge to unwrap it.  Now imagine that piece of fruit is wiggling around, crying, screaming, wiggling, screaming, crying, wiggling, screaming…(get the picture) AND has a catheter sticking out one end of it that is only held in by 1 tiny little stitch.

Do you think you can done it in less time?!?!?!?  If so, I have some diapers you can change over the next 10 days.  😉

We were finally able to get the bandages off without causing any damage to the area that is healing.

That was a big relief for us!!!!!!!!!!

Connor is doing just fine.  He is walking around, eating, playing, and being as active as ever.  We had to take all ride’em toys and push toys away from him for the next 6-8 weeks.  Connor and I can’t play hide and seek either as we have to keep his activity to a minimum.  Hopefully he will be all healed up in about 5-6 weeks so we can take him to the neighborhood pool.
