Ben's ear was healing really nicely, so with permission from Dr. Lewin, he started to enjoy the few remaining days of summer. School was starting on September 7, and unfortunately, I had to be out of town on the first day of school!September 6, 2011. After the Labor Day weekend which included Ben's brother kicking him in the ear and knicking his ear, we paid a quick visit to Dr. Lewin who confirmed that we are doing the right thing with the Bacitracin and yellow tape, and that we're basically back to square one on that spot for Ben and need to wait for it to heal...
September 7, 2011. Another bump on the road to recovery...While traveling, I received a text from my husband that Ben's younger brother (yes, the same one who kicked him in the ear a couple of days before) had wrestled him to the ground in the playground right before school, and Ben landed on his ear in exactly the same spot busting open the wound. (Groan!) Here is a picture (left) of what it looked like after the tumble in the play yard. Thankfully, we now carry Bacitracin and yellow tape with us...

Ben returned to Dr. Lewin that day, and she re-bandaged his ear and said that it had to be kept under the plastic ear cup until it was completely healed. We did not put any ointments on the ear, just let it heal under the ear cup.
