Tate's Hands

It has been a while since I wrote about Tate's hands. We went to the doctor again on Wednesday. He seemed much more positive this time! We are finally able to unwrap his right hand!!!! The skin is looking good. It doesn't look like we will have to do skin grafts! What a blessing! However, the skin in the palm of his right hand is scarring pretty bad. So his thumb is retracting toward his fingers. He can't pull it all the way down. So we have to massage it and pull on his thumb to work the skin. He does NOT like that. If this doesn't work, then he will have to have surgery to have his thumb released, so his hand can work the right way. The doctor said it could be up to three months before we know if we have to do this. He is starting to use his right hand a little more each day. He even crawls once in a while instead of scooting. It's so good to see him be able to use both hands!
