battle wounds

talan continues to do great after his surgeries. he hasn't seemed to be affected by any of it. the only thing he doesn't like is having ear drops put in his ears and being held down to do so. it takes 2 of us to hold him down, and we could probably use a third most days!
the plastic surgeon gave us a prescription for tylenol with codeine but told us not to fill it until we saw if regular tylenol would work. i haven't had to give him anything for pain....which means the codeine is mine, all mine!
on thursday morning (day 2), talan woke up and his eye had swelled almost completely shut. even then he didn't try touching it or anything. he just went on with his normal day. mom came over that morning to watch the boys so i could go to mops, and by the time she got there, his eye was already a little less swollen. and by the afternoon it was even better.
yesterday (day 3) it didn't look too swollen anymore and the color started changing.
and today the swelling is pretty much gone and we've got some new colors added to the mix including yellow.
talan goes in to see the plastic surgeon on tuesday morning and then will go to see the ear dr. on monday the 13th. i'm guessing everything will be just fine. he's a champ. we did have to rename him thom yorke, however.
here's some pictures from days 2 through 4.
