Well, here are a few updated photos of Henry's head. This photo is how it looked after the bandage was taken off. Kinda creepy! It looks so huge. They stitched the bottom layers near his skull and glued the top layers to help lessen the scar. So the big globby stuff is just glue.
Well, naturally, Henry fell and busted the stitches/glue open. We were so careful. I let him run or play in the backyard at all. Everything seemed to be going well and he just tripped over his own feet and hit his head on a wood deck. The glue was opened in one spot and it was bleeding, which scared me. So I took him to Childrens Hospital - again. The ER doctor said there wasn't much they could do because they risked opening the entire thing up if they tried to remove the glue to put fresh glue back on. So, since the bleeding had stopped by the time we saw the doctor, they just sent us back home with the directions of "No running!"
Here is a picture of the little guy after the glue was peeled off. The scar is very fresh and red. Since this photo in February, we've been putting silicon scar strips and Mederma on it and it look amazing! It's very light and isn't raised too much.
