We came from the doctor yesterday - to have Dash's wound cleaned and to talk to Jet's ortho sugeon.
Dash's wound is healing very well although his pedia still wants it covered so as to avoid any bacterial infection. He hardly feels any pain now so I think he will be OK.
On to the more serious matter. We got to talk to Jet's ortho surgeon who has decided to operate on him Wednesday morning. He will be doing 3 procedures - and I do not really remember the medical terms - but he will basically be doing an elbow reconstruction. I asked the doctor how bad it was and the doctor said, "very." Sheesh. The radial head of his elbow was shattered but the doctor will never really know the extent of the damage until he opens it up. If the radial head was damaged by only about 30%, then it will not require anything major but if more than that was damaged then the surgeon will have to use a couple of titanium screws to put things in place. Jet will have to stay in the hospital for about 3-4 days, will be in a cast for 4-6 weeks and will need rehab for about 3 months.
Meanwhile, I didn't get that job I was applying for at the other company and I didn't get the promoted at work this year.
Set backs aside, everything else is OK.
Happy Sunday everyone.

Poor baby! I can't imagine how that must have felt!! And I'll be praying that your husband doesn't need surgery! Also, I'm sorry about not getting that job, or getting promoted. Hang in there, my friend!! God has something great planned for you!
Thanks C and Alicia! Greatly appreciate your kid thoughts!
Everything will fall into place, you'll see. You and your family are in my prayers. Try to breath, okey?
