Getting the stiches out




We went to the UNM Clinic to get the stitches out. They put him in a chair that looked like a rocket. The Dr came in and took out the stitches in 5 min. Jakob didn't cry once. He did say it hurt when they took the last one on the end of his nose out. But he still didn't cry.
The top pic was one he took of himself (one of 20 pics he took of himself)
The dr said he can't do Judo for 10 days and he should be careful not to do any hard playing where he could fall. I tired not to laugh too hard when he told us that.
All is done. Now he just needs to wear a hat until the cut cleans up (about 10 days) and then we put sun screen on him for a year and that should help with the scaring.

Like you don't have enough to worry about. Whose dog bit him? I'm glad he's doing o.k. - sounds like he thought the whole thing was one cool adventure. Cute Jakob...

Ha! A boy play at something where he might not fall? That doctor must not have kids. ;o) Glad he's healing so well...those earlier pics will be feathers in his cap on the playground! ;o)
