It has been a very difficult week with many things happening.  Craig was in a lot of pain with his Kidney stones (which he passed after 2 hospital and 1 doctor appointment), we had to change our plans of going to the mountains for our anniversary and  I had an abscessed tooth (that was removed).  It took 2.5 hours to remove( 3 days later and one big cold sore with the pain reminding me in of the truly traumatic day) and a few more days of recovery to finish off the week.  The good news is that we did celebrate our anniversary, I'm recovering from the dental surgery (my dentist called to check on me :)) and my daughter's injured hand is improving.  It may not seem exciting to most but I am truly thank full that things seem to be moving along in a positive way.

  36 years and looking to the future

In the beginning after two casts and many weeks of pain
Now ring finger is almost straight and little finger is beginning to behave.
Although Michelle still has a way to go I can see the improvement.  No matter how old your children are you feel their pain.  When she was little I could snuggle her in the rocking chair and make things better, now all I can offer is a ride to the clinic and a hug.
