The plaster trick

Since Grace squished her finger in the door she has wanted to have a plaster on her finger. After two days under a plaster the wound looked, well, terrible – all white and mushy. With little prospect of not putting a plaster on her finger we applied some parent brain and devised a plan which involved putting some Wecesin powder onto the wound and putting the plaster on her finger in a different spot – one which was not over the wound at all, allowing it to breathe.
Worked for us….
Nearly everyday I get excited about Grace's speech development. It was a concern for quite a while, and now it is just a joy to hear her talking and saying new words. Today I thought her "oink" was very cute, and she said the longest word that I can think she has ever said, "decorating."

With this, the wound can still breathe and doesn’t go all white and soggy.
Yes, we have some Micropore….but it doesn’t have Winnie the Pooh’s or Eeyore’s on it 🙂
When I first saw your comment I thought it was spam for a moment until I noticed it came from you 😀
No worries! That happens to me all the time 😉 I see a new market segment opening up here for cartoonified medical tape…
