The Goodwins

This stinks!

I knew the tissue expander process was going to be hard to go through, but I just hate that Kirk and I have to make Ella so mad when we mess with her head… of course we know it is for her own good, but her tears and screams tell us that she doesn’t buy that.

We’ve decided that she needs another – even more fashionable (ha!) – haircut tonight. The sutures on her forehead are oozing some lovely goo. We think (hope) that it’s part of the original infection and that we’re still getting her cleaned out, but it’s getting all matted in with her hair every time she takes a nap or goes to bed. So tonight the clippers come out again and she looses even more hair so that we can keep her healthy.

Her smiles still warm our hearts, but the tears are killing us! Especially daddy as he is the bad guy more often than I am, and he’s not home all day to see the smiles and hear her belly laugh when dolly does something funny.

Maybe if we all shaved part of our heads I’d feel better.

hmmm… probably not.
