Well getting stitches out went very well. With numbing cream it was smooth sailing. Although there were a few owies when the residet cut out the four stitches in her ear because it was hard to get the cream in there to numb it. So if we wouldn't have had the cream I think there would have been more complaints and tears. The down side was that we drove an hour and a half each way for a whole 20 minutes in the hospital. It only took about 10 minutes to take them out so it was rediculous. Sooo wish we could have done this in Waterloo. There were no special tools used so I believe we could have. Anyway, it's over with, she did good and today the scar looks wonderful. She is still on antibiotics for a few more days and she's good to go. Then just waiting until we see changes in her tone. Could be as much as a year before we see changes.
Saturday was a fun day filled with friends and family. First we spent two hours with some of Ellie's friends and parents from school and preschool getting together. We had a picnic and the kids played while parents talked. Then we spent two hours with Javier, Stephanie, Hudson and abuela at Jav and Steph's house. The kids played on the new swing set after a quick trip to a neat little country store out on Raymond Rd. Then we headed to grandma Julie's house to see Emily, Ethan and Haley who were visiting for the day. It was much fun all day.
