A little unstitchin' at home

For those who are squeamish, you might want to skip to the next post.

We decided, as requested, to remove our little tike's stitches at home. Yup, you heard me right, at home. We sterilized our equipment, cleaned the area, turned up the lights, plopped the cute boy on the counter and the surgery began!

King Meemer (5) was so eager, he kept asking me all day if I could take them out. I opted for the Papa to come home, as it was definitely not something I felt like tackling alone, though we had done it before and it isn't anything that is difficult. They actually gave us the directions at the hospital, though they also said, we could come back there or go to our pediatricians office. Going back to the emergency room, well, a no brainer there, and the pediatricians office is far from warm and friendly these days- yes, I do plan to interview a new family doctor after Christmas.

Not one whimper, and just one 'ouch!' All gone, let's say pray no more, EVER! Mr. King Meemer smiled all the way through, I kid you not, the boy is brave and HANDSOME!

Who ever said that being parents was boring? It certainly wasn't my Knight or I, we feel like we are constantly in the midst of drama of one kind or another, ever feel the same or is it just me?

5 stitches (on the outside) gone...one boy-loaded with trust for his new Papa and Mama and happy to have his head healing up nicely! Drama over for today anyway.
