Well we went back to the doctor this morning so Beau could get his hand in a real cast not just the plaster one they had previously given him. As you can tell by this picture he is exhausted. It has been one long day. He chose red for his cast, of course, and it looks pretty good. The doctor took out the stiches and told him that because scar tissue is forming around the tendon really quickly we need to start therapy in two weeks. So we go back on New Years Eve to remove the cast and then see if the tendon is healed. If it is then they will begin therapy. After each session of therapy they will stick the cast back on his hand and he will continue that process until he has regained mobility. The doctor said that there is nerve damage that can't be fixed and Beau will always have numb spots in that thumb but he is confident that Beau will be ok. Thank goodness. I think that was just a big relief for Beau. I just want to say thanks to Jens for being at the appointment. It really meant a lot for Beau to have you there making sure he was going to be ok. Thanks Jens we love you so much!
Oh and Beau went in for the interview with his hopefully new job today and he said it went great!! We will know in a couple of weeks. Pray for us!!
