ALL CLEAR!

Eston had a doctors appointment today at Regions Burn Center. We weren't quite sure what the outcome would be, but we were hoping he would at least be able to start walking more or start wearing shoes. Well, he got the all clear! The doctor said there is virtually no risk for infection at this point and since he has healed so fast he can return to his regular routine, including: swimming, running, biking, playing in the sandbox, walking around barefoot, etc. Eston also asked if he could go swimming in the lake and the doctor said YES. I was suprised about the sandbox and swimming pool but the doctor said he would be fine. We have to make sure we use a lot of sunscreen on his burn areas to keep the new skin protected. He also said that since he healed so fast there will most likely be NO SCARS! It could take up to a year for the skin color to look normal but there should be no lasting affects.
You cannot imagine how excited and suprised we were. Thank you all for your support and prayers, we have proof that they all worked!!!!!

This is how his foot looked today.

Eston snapped this shot of his nurse.

Here he is right before he got the great news!!!

  2. Great news! Hooray, Eston! However, it still gives me the willies to look at that ouchy foot! I'm glad it's healed so quickly. Must be the good nurse mom!

    Got the teacher news today. Violet has Mrs. Fryer - who does Eston have?
