The Givens Family: 2 Weeks Post-Op

Brennan's Journey

The support Brennan has received is overwhelming and incredibly humbling. There is a growing number of people who are asking us how they can help Brennan through his journey and our main focus and priority continues to be prayer for Brennan, his overall health and for the doctors. But so many people are wanting to help even more. For those that feel led to help Brennan financially, a "donate" button is now available. It is linked directly to a special account for Brennan and his long road ahead. Any amount is greatly appreciated. I wish there were words to express our gratitude for all of the support and prayers B is receiving. Thank you to all and God Bless.

2 Weeks Post-Op

Last night, 15 days post-op, B's skin graft guaze pad came off. I have been soaking the area with water to keep it moist and clean. B woke up yesterday morning and I found the guaze pad under his pillow. The site already looks better 1 day after coming off. I've been putting cocoa butter and aloe vera on it throughout the day so it heals properly. If it heals right, all the hair will grow back and it will be completely back to normal.
We have been putting ear drops in his ear canal 2x a day. That's the only thing we have had to do, other than not getting it wet (which is really hard during baths). We go back up north next week for the doctor to take out some of the "plug" in the canal and check how it is healing. Hopefully it is healing properly. We've been doing our best to keep our very active boy calm and relaxed the past 2 weeks. I can't wait until we can go to the park and play!!!
