Treatment #16 -- February 19, 2008

The ride home--You can see Hunter passed out in the back with the Build-a-Bear box and Sawyer enjoying his Spiderman bear. This bear kept him entertained the whole ride home (one hour.)

Our Mr. Happy--Notice Sawyer's poor eczema face--this should clear up this week since he'll be on steroids.
A few days ago Terry and I noticed that Sawyer's scar (the site of the old port) is growing again! Really strange! It's been over a month since surgery and until just a few days ago Sawyer's incision was just a large line. Now it is growing into an oval shape again. Weird! I asked the nurse practioner about it but she thinks it's because of his eczema--doesn't make sense as his other scar is healing wonderfully and hasn't changed at all. I'll have Dr. Arceci take a look at it this Thursday and see if he has any ideas. (I took these pictures this morning--Feb. 20--before Sawyer hopped in the bath. Of course, he thought his mommy was crazy making him stop for pictures before he jumped in the bath.)
In this picture you can see how far Sawyer's new port sticks out.
