Back to Normal

Carter had his six week follow-up appointment today with the hand surgeon. I'm happy to say this little trauma that came into our lives is over!! Dr. Cassar said that everything looks good....... and then he put Tooter through the last bit of pain. On Carter's fingers there were a couple of scabs and the big black one on the dorsal (top) part of his ring finger...........he took them off! The poor kid screamed and was `stuck`to me like glue. The nurse tried to distract him with a sticker.....no such luck. He cried all the way out to the lobby and half way to the van.
We no longer have to wrap up his hand and he is free to start using it again. I will post some pictures soon for you all to see.
Here is Carter showing off his sticker tonight........it says `brave patient`.

These next couple of pictures are for Grandma who is going through withdrawal of seeing them.

Like I said, things are back to normal.......Logan putting Carter in a head lock.

Good job, Carter!!!! Your hand looks great! You are a very brave boy!
How is school, Logan? Can you read yet? Grandma has some books for you that I got from my grade one class. I will bring them out next time we visit.
Love ya
