We had our weekly checkup this morning at the burn center. They said her hand is healing well. Bandages will still be changed twice a day and keep doing what I'm doing. The only finger that needs to still be wrapped is her pinky on her right hand. The focus now in our burn journey needs to be on stretching the left palm. The skin is starting to heal and we can see that her hand is already wanting to heal a little more closed and then the scarring will make it even worse. I need to aim for 5 mins of stretching about times a day. The more, the better. That sounds simple, but it's a little hard because she cries and resists and how do you get a 1yr old to sit still for a full 5 minutes when you're causing them slight pain. The physical therapist worked with us a lot more today than before and she gave me some good tips. And it's just going to take some trial and error too. Her recovery almost fully depends on how well I take care of her. I'm willing, I just hope I do it good enough. It feels like a lot of pressure right now.
Corey is in his last week of the semester! Which means the last week of Masters degree #1! He is having an official interview at Lifestar to discuss future employment, or lack thereof, on the 10th. We are hoping for the best, but know that whatever happens will be in our best interest and the Lord's will.
