All is fine!

Finally Ee had his stitches removed on Monday afternoon. As I had expected, he didn't cry when the nurses removed his stitches, and only cried when they were cleaning the antibiotic ointment off the wound. They had to use the tweezers to scrap off the excess ointment and rub it clean with the gauze. That certainly hurt and it made him cried out loud. After that they applied a special plaster onto the wound that will supposedly protect it from splitting open again from physical activities as well as protect the scar from darkening under the exposure of the sunlight. We were told to apply force down to make the plaster stick to his skin tightly so that the scarring will be smoother and not bumpy when it heals. He will certainly feel pain for a while or so but it was for his own good. The good thing is that we only need to change that plaster once every two days, and now he could show as normal and not worry about getting the wound wet under the water.

We are quite happy that the wound is healing fast and all thanks to the plastic surgeon who did a good job in his stitches, I think it's not going to be that ugly afterall. Sure the scar is going to be visible but at least it's not going to make him look like a pirate lol Will try and upload some pics of his healing wounds later when I have more time.
