I'm Healing Beautifully!

I was finally able to take the bandage off and clean my wound. The doctor did a pretty good job, I don't think that it will leave much of a scar. My hand feels good and I have full movement again. I have to keep it wrapped til at least Friday...which keeps me out of bathtime and dishes. I might just keep it wrapped for the rest of the summer!!

ER Trip

So on Monday the 9th of June, Cindy was preparing dinner for the family. She was placing a bowl of spagetti sauce on the counter. Her depth perception was a little off and missed the counter. The corel bowl dropped to the floor and shattered. Wait...I don't think corel is supposed to shatter. Anyway, because there was spagetti sauce we didn't just want to sweep it up. Cindy grabbed some paper towels while I grabbed the little dust pan with hand brush. Cindy was using a sweeping motion with her hand and paper towels to gather the mess of sauce and broken glass. A small shard of glass slipped under the paper towel and into her hand. I attempted to push the glass back out the way it went in. No such luck. The cut was tiny but we were concerned about the glass that was stuck in her hand. We asked our neighbors' son (13 yrs old) to come over and watch the kids so I could take Cindy to the ER. They could not do anything to remove it. They referred her to a hand surgeon and sent her home with antibiotics and pain killers.

We were supposed to contact the surgeon the next morning (Tuesday). When Cindy called the surgeon he was not in to work that day. They scheduled her for the next day (Wednesday) to come in and be seen. We went in Wednesday, and they scheduled surgery to remove the glass for later that day. We had to be at the hospital at 1:15 pm, and she went into sugery at 4:00 pm. Surgery was complete at around 4:40, and then they kept her for another hour to make sure that she recovered okay. They gave us the piece of glass in a pee cup. The piece of glass is about a half an inch long. That was the Brown's excitement for the last couple of days.

Alaska

Well, not too much has been going on lately. We have been living by the daily schedule of summer school, lunch/nap, pool, then bed. Then Curtis called one day and said that we had gotten orders to move to Eielson Air Force Base, near Fairbanks, Alaska! We were a little shocked considering that we have not even lived here for 2 years yet. But we are excited to go. Alaska was been a place we have wanted to go. So start saving your pennies so that you can come up and visit us when we get there!
