Pictures of Caidy

Caidy's lip has been healing so well. We were at the Plastic surgeons' today and he was happy with how things look and would like to see us again in Sept. Once the little bit of scaring is gone, we will start massaging Caidy's lip. Dr. Courtemanche would like us to use alo vera and using a circular motion rub lightly on Caidy's lip where the scar is to help stretch the skin as well as minimize the scaring. While the scar is healing it will shrink causing the lip to be pulled up, the massage will encourage the lip to not shrink up, and also will allow us to get a fully healed lip quicker. He said that before massaging was practiced it would take up to a year to see the final results of a lip repair but now that people have been doing this there can be results much sooner. Hopefully this will work for us and the scaring will be minimal as well.




Also as you can see from the majority of the pictures she loves having her fingers in her mouth! Having the arm rastraints on was so hard for her, during the day we would allow her to go without them and she would instantly want to suck on her fingers! We could never leave her alone with them off but she was also just happy to be able to move freely! I don't think she is teething at all, she just really likes to chew on those finger and slobber everywhere!!
