Boo went to Occupational Therapy (OT) today. They removed the plaster cast and he’s now in a splint for the next 6-12 weeks! He CANNOT use that hand at all, any movement could cause the tendons to snap and have to have the surgery re-done, Uh No Thanks! He goes back in a week for bandage changes and a new set of exercises.
I have added some pictures of his hand today, they are NOT for the faint of [Read more…]
Jumping Jellybeans we have an Internet connections! Now I’m going to hustle and try to get this blog posted before it dies out on me….
Friday 11/7/2008 Day of Surgery
We arrived at the Surgical Outpatient Center a few minutes early at 11:45 am (we were supposed to be there by Noon). Boo & I met Mr. B there as Mr. B was coming from a morning of work. We checked in and waited to be called back to a [Read more…]
Boo is having surgery on his 2 fingers today! We have to be at the outpatient surgery center at noon. We’ve spent the morning running around to Target, CVS, & Rite Aid, after dropping Bubby & Bea at school, trying to distract him from the fact that he’s had nothing to eat/drink since a glass of apple juice at 6 am!
I’ll update with more after we get back from the surgery center. We did have [Read more…]
Don’t ya just love it when you have unexpected and uninvited guests pop up?! I mean I guess it could be a good thing depending on who the guest turns out to be, but in our case it wasn’t so great…
Our guest just happens to be a MOUSE living here in our temporary house!
Mr. B was sitting on the couch on Tues night watching the election coverage when he seen something dart across the floor and behind [Read more…]
So we’re just past a month back in the States, and I’m sure missing Japan! Although I do have to say I do NOT miss being woken at night by earthquakes!
There is such a HUGE difference between living overseas and in the United States! It’s so hard to explain to all the people here who have only experienced Stateside life. They can’t even fathom a huge city like Tokyo, where it’s so safe people send [Read more…]
Today was Boo’s appointment with the surgeon and unfortunately it wasn’t the news we were hoping for. We suspected that his right hand ring finger probably had a severed tendon from his inability to move it but it was also discovered there is nerve damage in that finger as well. He doesn’t have feeling in it and it just feels numb to him. It was also determined that there is a high probability that [Read more…]

Boo has an appointment tomorrow morning with our Primary Care Dr and then we’ll get a referral to take him to the hand specialist off base. Hopefully we can get an appt. with the Specialist on Monday, or Tues at the latest.
He has 4 stitches [Read more…]

Well this was supposed to be a nice little post with pics of the kids and their pumpkins…guess not…sigh.
It all started with the Pumpkin Patch at Bea’s school where she got to bring home a pumpkin yesterday. Then since it was here she wanted to carve it, which her and Mr. B did. This caused Bubby to want a pumpkin of his own to carve, so Mr. B told him he’d get him one today.
As [Read more…]
We arrived in Alabama last night around 9:30 pm! It was a 12 hour trip in all from WV. It ended up being 9 hours and 30 mins of driving with 2 hours and 30 mins of stopped time. That included a stop for lunch at McDonald’s, stop for dinner at Cracker Barrel and 4 bathroom breaks (2 included getting gas as well).
All in all the trip was long but went way better than expected! The kids did great [Read more…]
