Finger update
Turns out that at least one and possibly two of the stitches in Sam's finger have slipped. We suspected that when we changed the dressing on Sunday night, but doctor confirmed it on Monday. It was too late to restitch it, but he fells confident that it will still heal. The scar will just be less pretty.
On a side note, Sam did well at his five year old well check. He's 78% for height and 59% for weight. We got a new prescription for car sick medicine and a regimen for his excema. Sam also failed his vision test, but just barely. We'll take him to get his eyes checked in January when our insurance will cover it.
The big bandage on Sam's right finger is causing him trouble. We have to help with spooning soup, fastening his buttons and wiping. He lost his bandage twice yesterday at school. His teacher replaced the bandage both times and told me about it after school with her head on my shoulder with awe and disgust about how terrible it looks. Luckily, it looks to me like it's healing and Sam seems less freaked out now when we change the bandage. We get the stitches out on Monday.
