Alyssa noticed that Baby Luke had a band-aid over his belly button. She said to him, “You have a band-aid, can you say ow?” Baby Luke then cooed something that sounded similar to “ow” and Alyssa said “good job, ow” like she had no doubts he would just copy what she told him to say. lol
Here are pictures of Baby Luke’s surgery “owies” The band-aid over his belly button was covering the place were they did exploratory surgery. The clear tape bandage is covering the incision they made to correct his hernia issues.
Below is a close up picture of the surgery area…look away if you get grossed out, but it’s not actually that gross looking. It can get wet, but not soaked in a bath and it is supposed to peel away at the sides and then fall off on its own 7-14 days after surgery. I’ve already removed his band-aid and you can’t see anything, just looks like his normal belly button.
As you can see from the above pictures, Baby Luke is doing well and is quite the happy baby. We just have to be careful and scoop him up (rather than pick him up only by the underarms) when we pick him up in order to support his bottom area since he may still be sore from the surgery.
