The final verdict today from the doctors is that no skin grafts will be needed on Isaac’s leg! He will need to stay bandaged for a week or more till it fully heals, but after that, just some cut off tights to keep pressure on the scar while it forms. Hopefully they have some that aren’t pink…
When we were leaving the hospital, Isaac said, “Mom, isn’t that great that I don’t have to have skin grafts! (pause) What’s a skin graft?” I told him that they would take some skin from his bum and put it on his leg where the skin wasn’t healing. To that he replied, “That’s disgusting mom!” Oh the things kids say!
We are on cloud 9 and feeling SO incredibly blessed. It has only been reiterated that God does listen and answer prayers, even from little families like ours. Thank YOU for your prayers that joined with ours and helped make a miracle happen.
**what’s up with Photobucket? I have lots of storage left.
That is good news!
That is great! I am sure a big weight has been lifted.
What’s up photobucket??? What a wonderful day full of so many great things!
We’re so happy Ike!
THAT IS SO WONDERFUL! prayers are answered 🙂
Wonderful news!
And sorry about photobucket… I keep checking back and I see that stupid meter thing. Noooooooo!
So glad that Isaac is going to be okay, what a trooper.
Awesome! I’d hate for Isaac to have a bum knee . . .
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
Thanks for the update and I am SO happy to hear that. And that is hilarious about his questions… kids certainly are funny!
A bum knee, a BUM knee! Ha! That made me chuckle (and maybe snort a little).
Yay for Isaac! Such great news!
I’m relieved for your little man and family. It sounds like you have all been through quite enough, and it’s good that perhaps there is a healing light at the end of the tunnel. I’m glad Isaac will get to keep the skin on his bum 🙂 Take care.
Oh Leah, I am so sorry. I haven’t really looked at blogs much lately and I saw this…So glad Isaac is not going to need skin grafts. What a blessing. Hang in there.
PS…kids are beautiful as ever!!
The best news of the week! We need to chat soon.
Leah that is fantastic news. I really loved what you said at the end of your post…and it is so true. The picture is just darling too!
For sure the best news I heard all day long. Hip, hip! Definitely an answer to so many prayers and cause for immense celebration!
yay for isaac!
I’m so happy to hear the great news! What a brave little guy to go through all this like such a trooper!
Thank Heavens! Brave little boy, and i can’t even imagine what you and Geoff have been feeling. Kids really are like having your heart walking around on the outside of your body. Sad the photos aren’t showing up though. Photobucket is such a weird site. Here’s to more good news!
PS:My sister had 2nd degree burns to her upper thigh and lower leg from climbing up on the stove to play with the knobs when she was 1. Not a single scar, there is hope =)
oh leah, it’s not storage it’s bandwidth which has something to do with the amount of hits your blogs get and people linking to you… i don’t really understand it but i had to upgrade to pro, it’s so annoying.
so bummed i couldn’t hang out tonight… 🙁
Oh good! We’ve been worried and praying for the cute little guy!
What fantastic news. 🙂
so so glad! but dang, i wish i could see your photos!
congratulations, leah! that’s such great news.
Wonderful! hallelooyiah! Does that mean he can come over and play real soon?
And Blue Cheese’s comment was so funny. What a pun!

good heavens, it’s totally stressful when kids have medical issues. i’m so glad this has a good resolution- love to you guys!
