Lookin' Good!!!


Adam is feelin' and lookin' great these days!!!! Tuesday Adam had a much better day but, he still looked pretty rough. Wednesday afternoon we saw Adam's Dr., the emergency room wanted us to follow up with him, just to make sure everything was healing nicely and no infection. I thought he looked pretty good Wednesday but his Dr. was concerned about the swelling and he thought the road rash on his chin looked a little questionable with infection(good thing he didn't see him earlier in the week or he would have really worried) and told us he knew he was probably being overly cautious but wrote out a prescription for Adam to go on an antibiotic. I love our pediatrician he is the nicest man, but I did not fill the prescription I held on to it, just in case but, I thought it was really healing nicely and I really saw no sign of infection. He said Adam could go back to swimming starting Saturday. Thursday he looked even better and by Friday he looked great, and I let him go swimming (bad mommy) a day early! The chlorine dried up the scabs on chin and outside lip and they fell off, leaving him to look even better!!!!!!!!!!!! I really didn't think it was going to heal this fast and without any marks!!! Lucky boy!! He has been riding his bike quite a bit and seems to be much more cautious, which is a good thing! Here's hoping that was are one and only exprenince with stitches!

Oh man! I haven't been reading much lately, and look what happens! Yikes! My stomach is churning thinking of that q-tip in the ER. Glad the injuries were not too severe. Yay for helmets!

I have a feeling that there isn't much that will make Adam slow down--he is amazing!

Looking good indeed! His lip is healing well. I'm sure he's so happy to be swimming again.
