Soooo...I got my first look at Will's bites today. After a solid week of healing, they still made me cringe. We saw the nurse practitioner who asked many questions before even taking the bandages off his legs. Will gave her good, detailed answers, down to spelling the name of the antibiotic the Jamaican doctor prescribed for him. (Love my detail-oriented boy.) She thought they were healing pretty well, but wrote him a prescription for another round of antibiotics because one of the puncture wounds is still pretty open. She also gave us the name of a plastic surgeon if we choose to see him. Her reasoning was that Will will soon start his teenage growth spurt and those new scars will stretch into much larger scars as he grows. Will is o.k. with having some scars on his legs - so we will just keep them wrapped and clean until they heal & skip the plastic surgeon.
I have a picture of the bites on each leg, but it's too icky to post them here. If you're curious send me an e-mail!

Anslie has been a very happy girl to have her 3 guys home today- and so have I.
