I also asked Nurse Rowena about Mom's thumb. She said the open area is to allow the wound to drain, when the doctor checks it on Monday we will find out more on what will be done to start closing up the open portions. Here's what it looks like today. The raw-looking area on the left side is what I am concerned about, it is the source of the gooey stuff on the bandage.
There was mainly football on the TV, so Mom ended up watching a kids channel. We started with a show about animals (primates) and ended with a show on painting. The artist, Patrick Ching, teaches kids as well as adults how to paint using acrylics. He is from the Big Island and helped the Connections Charter School paint the 'Alala Mural on the old Kress Store building in Hilo.

We were supposed to see Uncle Roy this afternoon, but he had difficulty sleeping last night. Baron called to reschedule to tomorrow, but we are visiting with Mom's cousin Doreen tomorrow. We will have to reschedule the visit with Uncle Roy to after we return from Las Vegas.
Happy Birthday to Rep. McCoy & cousin Aimee!
