Sarah Wynn's Stitches Finally Out

As some of you know, Sarah Wynn's stitches did not dissolve as they were supposed to (If you aren't in the loop, SW accidentally got hit in the face by a PVC bat 4 weeks ago at a church picnic). Back to the story: since the stitches were embedded in the scab on her face, the physicians didn't want to remove them until the scab was ready to fall off (yeah, kind of gross). Anyway, I took her to a pediatrician (who didn't want to take them out), then back to the ER (who referred us to a specialist) and finally a plastic surgeon, who told us just to use a washrag on her face and eventually the stiches would come out (we paid too much for THAT advice). Well, the washrad did loosen the scab, which actually was ready to fall off, but would not because of the stitches. Anyway, we went to CVS and bought some tiny scissors and tweezers and Kristy did the suture removal herself as Sarah Wynn slept (God's natural anesthesia!). Way to go Kristy. Those hospital rotations in pharmacy school finally paid off! :0) So here is Sarah Wynn's first non-stitches and non-bandaid photo.
