Per doctor's orders, I removed Caleb's bandages this morning. Aside from a few brief glimpses during bandage changes at the surgeon's office, today was my first time to see Caleb's hand since surgery three and a half weeks ago. It looks pretty gross right now, but the swelling will go down soon. The scabs will flake off little by little over the next few days and weeks. I didn't ask the surgeon about the stitches, but I'm guessing they'll dissolve or fall out. At least one stitch already fell out today. Caleb returns to the surgeon in early January.
Happy to have his bandages off
Trying to figure out what's different
Before surgery
3.5 weeks after surgery
It's amazing what surgeons can do! I'm sure it looks so much better now!
