*The wound dressing change went much better yesterday.
*I mean, at least for me it did.
*We doubled Husband up on the Vicodin.
*It made no difference.

*We accidentally did the wound dressing change while Carolyn was still awake.
*Carolyn thought she needed to help out.
*I ended up putting her in the crib.
*She cried, wailed, and screamed for the duration.
*It put me even more on edge.
*I sweated profusely.

*Today, we're taking pictures...of the wound.
*Because Husband's dad wants to see it.
*But once he sees it, I'm pretty sure he'll wish he hadn't.

*Husband's fever ran until yesterday afternoon.
*There were several frantic calls to the doctor.
*Then, as soon as we set an appointment to see him, the fever broke.
*And it hasn't been back in almost 24 hours.

*We came home the other day to two giant packages by our door.
*Thanet's sister-in-law had sent tons of clothes for Carolyn.
*Right before the packages came, Carolyn was down to two pairs of shorts and three shirts that fit.
*We go through that many clothes in one day.
*Now, I'm pretty sure we're set for the next two years.
*And Carolyn will be more fashionable than I've ever thought about being.

*You'll all be happy to know that I've finally plucked my eyebrows.
*It had been weeks.
