The Latest

We did things a little differently this week. Instead of changing Adam's dressing on Tuesday the burn nurse told us that we could change it Monday and Wednesday if we noticed Adam itching too much. So we went ahead and changed the dressing on Monday, but we forgot to take any pictures. We also decided to try doing it without giving him any Oxycontin; we won't do that again.

We changed him again yesterday and here is a picture of that. His torso is looking so much better, and a lot of the burn is basically healed, just discolored and sensitive. The white spot on his torso that was so concerning on Friday is starting to look better with a lot of pink showing up. His legs are a lot whiter than we would like, and we'll just have to wait and see what the burn team tells us in Denver tomorrow.

In other news, it is my birthday today. Yesterday I got to celebrate a little by hanging out at the Bade's for a ridiculously long time. :) Joel came over after Chad woke up and we played cowboy golf and Super Mario Brothers on the Wii. We were also able to give Adam another blessing.

This morning I opened gifts from the family (thank you, Joel and kids!!!), and tonight Joel and I are going to watch a movie and head to bed early so we can get to Denver in the morning. Hopefully the weather will cooperate!

Happy birthday! I hope it was a good one. I even meant to call you today (though I had forgotten it was your birthday and would have felt silly). Good luck tomorrow. I'm anxious to hear and will call you soon.
