Glad That Day Is Over

Surgery went well yesterday, and we are very grateful to everyone who helped, prayed, and sent good blessings. In fact, the patient was in no pain yesterday and is still sleeping this morning as I type this (10:30 am).


Check out this xray. Notice that yes, it was taken at a veterinarian's office. Our next-door-neighbor owns the joint and wanted to see the bent plate. It's a great xray for showing the break and the bent plate. There is now a new, slightly longer plate in his arm. The doctor told us the break went together so nicely when they fixed it that he had a hard time even seeing it once the plate was on. And he did graph a little bone from his wrist into the break to expedite healing.






Our thanks to Grandma, who came over, watched the children, took them to lunch at Burger King, and made sure they made it to their swimming lessons. And a special thanks to the princess for taking such good care of Isaiah! Heaven help us!

Cool x-ray! That's the best neighbor with chickens and access to a x-ray machine! Glad to hear it went well.

Mitch takes such cool xray pics! Not that I'm encouraging injuries... I'm just sayin' . . . and that pic of Isaiah is just way too awesome for words!
