What scar?

Its official.  Charlie doesn't even look like he had surgery.  The swelling is gone.  The bruising is gone.  And his hefty scar is completely masked by hair.  His recovery has not been without its bumps and hick-ups, but Charlie is looking so good these past few days.  He is finally getting some regular sleep, which is contributing to a more relaxed version of Charlie than we've seen in the past week.  He has bouts of crying, anger and irritability that seem out of character and more related to the surgery, but these out bursts are becoming fewer as the days pass.  Mostly, he is calm and engaged and happy.  Here are the latest photos.
