Boo Boo Update

"Boo boo" and "hot" have been the two most common words to come out of Collins' mouth this past week. Obviously, the slide accident has traumatized my baby (and me). But the good news is that we got cleared by the doctor today- no more office visits are necessary and the bandages can come off!

It is amazing how quickly the wounds have healed in a week's time. We're told it will be months before the skin looks normal again, but we are so grateful that we've made this much progress already.

Many thanks go to my dear friend Rach who gave us so much helpful advice through this process. The knowlege she shared (gained from working in the burn unit at Baptist Hospital) was invaluable and gave us peace of mind. Thanks also to everyone for the prayers and words of support this past week- it meant a lot.

Another update- Pullen Park is putting up signs around the slide where the accident happened so this hopefully won't happen again!

Here are some pictures from our week indoors- as you can see we still managed to have some fun!
