The other pics are of Micah's legs tonight. We were able to unwrap Micah's legs and he got a shower. We see Dr. Didelot in next Tuesday to get the stitches out. He has some swelling and he is reacting to something that they used during surgery. He had hives on his legs tonight, especially on the left. That leg is more swollen too. I gave him some Benadryl before going to bed, so we will see how he is doing in the morning. He is sooooooo sensitive to tape adhesive: he had hives on his wrist where his IV was taped for less than 2 hours. but, the hives did not show up for 2 days after surgery. When he was a baby, and would get tegaderms for different surgeries: wherever the tegaderm was, one week later, he would shed that layer of skin completely. The doc knew that he was very sensitive to these things so that is why he used the traditional stitches and did not use any steri strips. He is still reacting to something though. He is walking AMAZINGLY good for having his legs cut open, and the plates and screws removed!!! He has to wear his walking boots from last years' surgery, for another week. Dr. Didelot will let us know next week if he needs to use them longer. I will keep you posted! (sorry if the pics gross you out! :-) )
