The Big Scar

I do have some exciting things to post about, but before I get to that, I just wanted to post a couple pictures of Kingsley's decompression scar. My last post had a big ugly picture of his scar at a couple weeks post-op. It's dreadful, isn't it? It's my own son, my amazing rockstar and it still gives me the shivers to see that enormous, raw scar down the back of his head and neck.

This was just before getting the stitches removed.

Fortunately, it looks nothing like that now. I wondered for a long time how it was ever going to heal and become less noticeable or if people would forever be staring at the back of his head. It did! I think the only people that notice it now are the people who cut his hair, but even they have never mentioned it other than to spend a few extra seconds parting and brushing in the back when they think I'm not looking.

So, for those of you who don't often get to see Kingsley's head in real life, here is how it looks now:

It's so amazing what the human body can do, isn't it?
