So....nose stents are a joke. I can now get them in and taped and by the time I reach to get the no-no's for her arms, she is holding the stents in her little hand and smiling at me like, "you're an idiot."
Dr. Figueroa said to do our best and not to worry if she doesn't keep them in for a long time. We can continue to put them in and try to keep her hands away from her face but she is clearly smarter than us...we're losing this battle. :)
Her scar looks good-they say that it will be the most noticeable at about 6 weeks post-op and Monday will be 4 weeks. It should get more red ( is "redder" a word?) and then start to fade. We go back on Nov. 9th to get the scar ointment and to learn the massage that is supposed to break up the scar tissue so it sits flat and is less noticeable. I laugh every time I say "scar massage" because I'm guessing it will go something like the nose stents situation. It's worth a try...
Here's what the nose stents would look like if she kept them in:
