That I am never going to buy pipe cleaners again. (at least while I have a child under 5)
That Grant is a resilient little boy.
We made it through the evening relatively well. No pain on Grant's part (alhamdul'allah) but he is not pleased with the "boxing gloves". We had to feed him, hold his cup for him and help him "do his business". Not pleased at all.
"Mommy, I can't touch my planes!"
He's crying this out to me as he comes running up, grasping his two favorite planes with his fingertips sticking out of the gauze wrappings.
"Oh, Grant! You have to keep that on!"
He is not having any of that. I re-wrapped the hands, drugged him with the codeine and put him to bed. We haven't heard a peep and hope it stays that way. Saturday Morning: I did some re-wrapping and this job is staying put. It's not easy making an active 4 1/2 year old NOT use his hands. His doting sisters have been very good to him; they fetch him his Spiderman, give him bites of waffle, scratch his nose and make puppet shows. Wow, how can I get some of this action? It sounds like a sweet deal!

The real question is...can he still go to school? :)
Not tomorrow. We've got an appointment with the Dr. at the Embassy. Monday, we'll see. Tuesday, please,please, please take him!
How long does he have to keep the bandages on? That is torture for a little boy!! (Heck, I think that would be torture for anyone, but especially a little boy!)
At least until tomorrow morning when we got to the Embassy Dr. We'll go from there. I think he'll be wrapped like that till Tuesday or so.
Poor kid! I sympathize with you both!
That is so crazy!
I love how it didn't slow him down at all!
gosh, give little Grant a big hug. That is absolutely crazy! It's a blessing he didn't get anything more than this. wow!
