Yesterday was our check-up at the Children's Hospital. Dr. Fraulin was happy with how her scar was healing, and said we could take the compression bandage off. Grace has been wearing it 24/7 so we were both pretty pleased with that news. I ran out of medical tape the night before the appointment. I took that as a good sign, and it was! Grace has also been given the clear to jump, run, and play. She can be a kid again, and I don't need to monitor her every move. Relief. There is still some remnant skin leftover from the hemangioma which is why there is purple near the centre. This will fade over time, and I told Dr. Fraulin that if it doesn't, that's ok. It's a reminder of what was. We will still continue to see the clinic, in six months for another check up of the scar, but also to monitor the hemangioma on her jaw. As we left the clinic Grace asked "Will we come back again?" I smiled and told her "Yes, otherwise Dr. Fraulin would miss us" :)
Doesn't it look beautiful?
