Okay so now to frame/pin care…

Follow the doctor’s instructions. Please. We went by the doctors instructions but modified them a little to fit our needs. I found that I did not need as much gauze as the instructions said. However, every person and frame is different. In addition, pin care is so much easier once they are willing or can take a shower. Do not forget the antibacterial bath soap. We bought Target’s brand and then we bought a couple exfoliating gloves. You will find the gloves near the women’s cosmetic section. I washed these gloves after each use since I was worried about infection. When it comes to cleaning, the pins remember to use one sterile swab per each pin site. Do not double dip in to the sterile water. I used a Dixie cup and filled it with the water and put all 16-19 cotton swabs in it to let them soak up and get soft then I took each one out as I cleaned. Make sure you pick an area and spread out from there, you can get kind of lost in the world of pins. You may also find that after bathing you may not need to wipe each site down again with a cotton swab. Only the ones that look “goozey”. You can use your hair dryer to help dry the frame off after bathing. Please watch your young child with the dryer. Weston would get a little excited like it was a cool gun. Five-year-old boys, little brothers, and a hot blow dryer… enough said… ;)
