Putting it in perspective

January 18th, 2010

Brenna likes to play in Ellie’s room and make a big mess (of course – what 3 year old wouldn’t??).  This morning she came out with some of the spare dressings we had left over from the ‘olden days’ lol.  Looking at them has made me realise how small the scab is now!  I decided to take some photos of the dressings compared to my hand to put it into perspective how large that area on the back of her head was to start with.

This photo is of the cuticerin (like a parafin gauze…this was the first layer of the dressing that didn’t cover the diamond area at the back to start with)

This next photo is the Melonin.  This was the non-stick covering that went over the Cuticerin.  This only just covered the area.  Over the top of these two layers we put on the bandage made out of surgifix (a stretchy tube stuff).

Ellie is alseep at the moment, but when she wakes I’ll take a photo of her head beside the melonin so you can see the progress.  It’s also nearly been a month since the latest scab piccie.  

I’ll do monthly scab photos to keep you updated :)
