We took the stuff off of Robby's ear tonight for it's second cleaning. Wow, it's an amazing difference from last week! The ear is much less swollen and the stiches are less pronounced. I was amazed when I saw the difference. This was the first time Daddy and Emily had seen Robby's new ear other than in pictures. Emily said it was 'earish', which, if you know Emily seems like such a natural thing for her to say. When Robby looked in the mirror, he got a big grin on his face. The ear was still quite tender when I washed it. The skin graft on his head looked very good as well. It hurt when I first took the guaze off, but then was fine. He has one more week of wearing his ear cup and hat. Then he has to wear a special ear mold at night for four weeks.
