The past 8 weeks

The following photos are not for weak stomached people. The last week of May John underwent surgery to fix an old skin graft that was failing.  When it all started we were not sure what all this would entail but as things got started, other than worrying a bit that things would turn south here we are looking back 8 weeks, watching in amazement, a small miracle.  I'm not one that likes to point out miracles or even reference things as such. Life is life, there are great things that happen every day. This is a crazy thing we have been through. You see, Johns head was no longer covering his skull. There was bone showing through.  For about 6 months we thought it was an infection.  Little did we know it was skull bone.  The doctor scrapped the skin off, removed skull to get to a healthy blood supply.  Then started layering on this fairy dust and pig bladder, that created John's cells to regroup and make new tissue. We still have some healing time but we are out of the woods for now.  Here are a few shots. You can see where it started and where it's come.
