At this point, I don't really care if Andrew has huge scars, as long as he makes it through all night...that being said, the surgeon that's been working on him also does plastic surgery on children (non-elective) and is very good with a needle. Andrew will have a tiny L-shaped scar on his right neck, and a light scar from his lower left side up to his solar plexus. It's every surgeon's choice how they 'close,' and some surgeons use staples. Andrew's surgeon used a single piece of fine stitch line that he threaded all the way up through his wound in a single line...it should leave very little mark after it dissolves naturally.
Andrew may have to have more surgeries later....I think the 'probable' count is now up to three, but the ones he's already been through are the most critical. After healing and growing, his body will be able to handle them much more easily.
Besides, chicks dig scars.
