Here is a picture of Aiden's face the day after the car wreck and another one just a few days ago. It's really healing up so well. In fact, his tongue healed in a matter of days! The others are taking longer (obviously). The one on his left cheek looks a bit "Frankenstein-ish" with the long line and the stitch marks on either side. Jamin remembers the ER doctor telling him that the stitches were dissolvable, but when we took Aiden to the doctor a week later he said they weren't and would definitely have to be removed. It took Jamin, the doctor and the nurse to hold him down while he was getting his stitches removed...poor guy!!! But he's doing much better now. I think the biggest trauma he suffered, though, was emotional. He still talks about all the fire trucks and ambulances and police cars that came to the wreck and the hospital and the stitches. I wish he could express more about it, though, especially since I don't remember anything. One day a month or so after the accident he was at Mammy's house and a commercial came on TV that showed a car accident. He just stopped and stared at the TV screen and then clutched Mammy's hands and said "hold hands."
