4-6 weeks???? More like 4-6 months!!!

When we left the hospital, they told us it would be healed and scarred over in 4-6 weeks….obviously we’re still waiting for that to happen.  I’m sure they must have known that it wouldn’t heal that quickly.  I’m pleased that back then I didn’t know how long this would take or we would have struggled more than what we already did (that’s a whole story for another day).

We are now on 3 monthly visits with the dermatologist until she turns 1 then we’ll find out more info about when surgery will happen.  I badly want all the answers now…

• How many operations will there be?
• How large will the saline balloons get?
• How long will the balloons be under her scalp for?
• Will the balloons be painful for her while they’re being inflated?

The doctors must be wanting to test my ‘must know everything now’ syndrome…they are doing a great job of it too!!
