Update on the Cripple

We went to a dr. besides the er to document the injuries that tyler recieved.  (it was recommended by someone...insurance or something)  She recommended that Tyler see a hand specialist and set him up an appt the following week.  They suggested that he have surgery and have a plate and some screws put in.  Here it is...

Here are some pictures of the after sutures were removed.

(funny sidenote...he watched the whole removal while the nurse was taking them out.  The dr. came in and said..."why are you watching?" A few minutes later Ty was (under his breath) "dad, dad, dad...I'm gonna throw up"  Brian said "are you ok?"  The dr. looked at him and he was white and said immediately...lie down and get that color back.  Twas funny.)

Now he wears a pretty cool "cast".  It's removable for showering only.  (cough cough)  It was designed by the us ski team and is just like a snowboarding boot that you can tighten up with a turn of a dial.  Hopefully he'll return to "normal" soon.  He is doing swimmingly.

Nice people...

I love people who are kind.  I appreciate people who are sincere.  I know this brother who has said nothing but kindness and is so thoughtful.  It makes me want to emulate him, be less sarcastic, less cynical and more thoughtful of others.  Because I don't know what others have gone through in their lifetime either. I guess because of what each child has had to endure in their lifetime, no one knows any history or how it will affect them in the future.  It warms my heart (and makes my eyes a little damp) when people are kind to my children and treat them like real people, like they matter and are concerned for their well being.

Nice people rock!  (that's a hint to who it is...hehe)
