Therapy

I took Stockton to the doctor today to get his mouth looked at. He threw up on the way there. I need to start stocking car sick bags like they do in the airplanes. Too bad he got it all over one of the reading bowl books, Savvy.

Once we were at the doctor's office, they showed Stockton the 'therapy' that he would need to do four times a day for three weeks. He has to pull his lip down to his chin 30 times, then rub his finger over his scars for two minutes. They told him to numb his lip first with the 'magic mouthwash' because it would really hurt. Sounds like fun.

When Stockton's bandaid fell off yesterday he was really worried. He thought he would have to have the surgery all over again. He thought the bandaid (which kind of puffed up his lip and made him talk funny) was permanent. That would be horrible.
