Okay...here is the update....Adam's hand is doing great. He had his nerves, tendons, and a muscle reconstructed...and all went well. He was in a HUGE cast/splint thing for about 6 days and now has a more streamlined and funky splint. He can't move his fingers AT ALL! They are afraid the tendons will rupture...so it has been interesting watching him become a "lefty" overnight! :) He is definitely on the mend and hopefully will be back to work soon....maybe....not sure.....crossing our fingers! He can't move for 4 weeks and we are hoping that St. Luke's will find something for him to do? Be a gopher?
Needless to say, I have had an exciting life the past 2 weeks. Let's see....Friday (26th) Adam cuts his hand...Monday: Rylee has a cold...we see the surgeon for Adam...Tuesday: Rylee has pink eye in BOTH eyes...Wednesday: Adam has surgery...Jackson throws up all night....Thursday: Jackson now has pink eye in one eye...Friday: Jackson gets a severe ear infection...Saturday: Jackson now has pink eye in BOTH eyes...Sunday: Uneventful, except for the screaming and crying during eye drops! (Both kids, eye drops, total of 4 eyes, every TWO hours...not fun!)...Monday: Adam see the surgeon and they remove the cast and put him in a splint...Tuesday: We see the surgeon AGAIN for ANOTHER splint...Tuesday night: I am sitting here blogging about how exhausted I am when I need to be sleeping!:) So...that has been my life...fun huh?

This is Adam's new "club" after surgery...he won't need golf clubs anymore he now is one!
Here he is tonight with a new streamlined splint! (He wears this one at night.)
This is the very cool and hip splint he wears during the day! Nice pattern eh?

Oh Suzi, I am sooo sorry!
I prayed for Adam the day he had his surgery. I'm glad all went well.
I feel your pain with the whole pinkeye thing! Over the past 2months, I have had it twice, Noelle twice, and Zach 3 times. It sucks! We have had enough screaming about eyedrops to last a lifetime too!
Hang in there! Wash your hands and DON'T touch your eyes!!! ;0)
