Our prayers were answered..
My son was in surgery about 8 hours.. he got to his room in the peds ICU about 12 hours post initial registration.. pretty long day for all of us 😅
The procedure went well, his nurse told me he woke up and said he felt "wonderful" this morning.
Today he will try to walk a bit and I am making him an epic smoothie because he loves those.. i am getting him all his favorite foods this week 😋😁
Thanks everyone for your prayers and messages.. it really means the world to us.
He has a rough stretch ahead recovering but he is so strong and hopeful. Precious little man..
Lastly, does anyone have any post surgery wound advice on how best to minimize scarring? Aloe.. mederma..
Bless you all.. I truly love you, Frens. 🥰
Vitamins A, C, E, and zinc are the building blocks of soft tissue. Carlson makes a combo of all of those with selenium. Do some research on horsetail; it contains substances that repair and regenerate skin cells. Not medical advice, just things that have worked for me.
Another thought I have is B&W Ointment (burns and wounds). I met an Amish gentleman recently who told me the story of an Amish child who was severely burned over most of his body. His father did not want his son to go through the skin debridement process, so he made this ointment, rubbed it on burdock leaves, and covered the burns with the leaves. Apparently, the results were amazing and he was left with very little scarring. There are many pubmed articles/studies that confirm the effectiveness of this treatment.
Lastly, I would have your son avoid dietary sugar as much as possible.
I am not a medical expert, but hopefully some of this will be helpful for your son.
