Hospital Update

I know people are looking for more information about us. Luckily, there wasn't all that much that needed fixing in the end. John was admited to St Mary's Hospital in Rochester (a great place to be) yesterday and consulted with doctors about the treatment of his hand. We elected for surgery to take place yesterday on the three center fingers of his left hand. The surgery itself was about an hour and half and surgeons reported everything went well. Two pins were placed in the ring finger on John's left hand to hold the bones in place. His hand is expected to recover with the possibility of some stiffness in his joints. Only time will tell. John spent the night at the hospital to receive antibiotics and should be ready to go home sometime this afternoon.

We have some bumps we are going to have to clear before we are back on track again (physical therapy/occupational therapy, vehicle decisions, travel decisions, insurance claims to be filed, medical claims to follow up with, and check up appointments to coordinate). I think we're all starting to feel like the problems are becoming more managable and life as we knew it will be possible again (which sounds kind of dramatic, but what we've been through is just so overwhelming in so many ways).

We'll be back when there is more to tell....Happy Holidays everyone
