What a traumatic day. . .

Well we had two appointments in one day and boy was it a day!! First we went back to the Hand Surgeon for a re-check on Gavin's finger. Good news is we no longer need the cast!!

They downgraded him to a splint and a bandage-but still to keep dry. Now we are pleased to say we are only in a band-aid and we can get it wet!! The nail did come off on it's own (praise!) and we are waiting to see how the new nail comes in. There is a small little nail there (praise!) so that's one concern gone. As long as the new nail comes in complete, attached on all 3 sides and adhering to his nail bed we are done!! That is our prayer at this point, to avoid any other surgical procedures!!

Also that day Gavin had his first trip to the Dentist! Because of the drama with this finger accident Gavin has a new fear of hospitals, doctors and apparently dentists! What fun. . .

You can tell in this picture we weren't getting very far. Gavin has both hands covering his mouth.

We did make a little progress though and when they let him sit up on the side of the chair (I guess so he could make a quick get-away if he had to) he did agree to let her polish his front teeth. Thankfully the Dr. Cross got a good look at those teeth and said they look great. I'm SO glad he loves to brush his teeth!! And one thing is FOR SURE. . . Daddy is taking him next time!
