Mat's thumb is healing well.
We have been monitoring his stitches and removed them one or two at a time. Where the most trauma was-that area still looked unhealed so we prolonged the stitches.
This past Monday was 2 weeks and he had four stitches left in and I just didn't think we should rush and pull them.
Yesterday afternoon we finally decided that they should come out. Well, Mat thought he would pull his own and did do one but he said it made him feel light headed.
Mommy pulled them out for him.
But I could quickly see that the stitches weren't really doing what was expected. The wound was healing from the inside out and yes it was a good thing that the stitches were holding it together.
So now we are using steri strips and bandaging it again to keep dirt out. There was a small area that was still open some.
Today Mat is trying to play his guitar again very carefully.
We are all very grateful that there is healing and no infection. Praise the Lord!
