Miss Kambri had a pretty good day yesterday. We spread her pain meds out a little and she did quite well. She joined her class for reading groups (via face time) and was disappointed to find out that Mrs. Duersch had a sub so she wouldn't be joining them for phonics and math. School on Thursday was a great boredom buster for her. She's anxious to get back to the classroom.
Today has been rough. Today was the day to remove the bandage on her skin graft and for the first time she was allowed to get in the tub. Her ear cannot get wet so we had to be creative to wash her hair. It took Jared and I both (with a plastic cup over her ear) to get at least most of her hair washed. It was a bit of a circus, but it's got to feel good to be clean again.
When we got her out of the tub, we were able to get the adhesive part of the bandage off fairly easily. The medicated gauze underneath however is a different story. The skin is very tender and bleeds every time we touch it. It is very painful for poor Kambri as we try to remove it. Little by little we've been able to get a good chunk of it off. Part of it though, is stuck. Really stuck. We've soaked it with a wet wash cloth all afternoon to no avail. It is so painful that she screams & tears stream down her face when we even touch it. It's hard to watch your little one hurt.
