Stitches – Update

Well, I took Taven to the clinic Monday afternoon to get his stitches out. I thought that maybe, just maybe, he’d let them take them out without the same fuss he gave getting them. I was wrong.

We ended up doing almost the exact same dance with one minor exception. He let me lie him down on the papoose & he even let us strap him in with a silly little smile on his face. We made it a biit of a game by calling him a silly wiggle worm. He never admitted to being a wiggle worm though. He kept saying “no, I am not a wiggle worm”, the only thing he’d admit to being was “a Taven”. (That’s my boy! He is what he is & you’d better like it that way!)

Of course all the smiles & giggles stopped when the shiney metalic objects started coming around his eye. We had the same struggle to pin his head down while the Dr removed the stitches, but we made it through.

He’s still got some little bandages on there that are supposed to fall off after 2-4 days & they’re starting to peel up. Over-all I’d say he’s been a real trooper through all of this craziness (or did I mean crappines?).
