Carter went to visit Dr. Flake yesterday. Dr. Flake said the area looked better than he expected it would at this point. There are a few areas where fluid is starting to collect, but he seemed to indicate that the chances the body might just start absorbing the fluid were about as good as the chances that he will need to drain it. We'll go back to see him again in 3 weeks. So we may continue to visit Philly on a regular basis for awhile. All the questionable areas of skin are healing on their own, so he shouldn't need any additional surgery for that.

We continue to adjust to having two boys. Ryker loves his baby brother and has not seemed to have any trouble adjusting. Stacy and I are having more trouble adjusting to the lack of sleep. We know it will get better...but it would be great if it got better soon.
