Finger Update

Well, a lot has happened since I first posted about Stephen's finger. While interviewing in California last week, he was able to see an ortho guy in Sacramento. They took additional x-rays and decided that he needed surgery. As soon as we got back to Charleston Stephen met with a hand specialist and they scheduled his surgery for today. Everything went really well. They put three pins in his finger and he will get follow up x-rays for 6-8 weeks.

Stephen pre-op:

After the surgery he was still feeling a little loopy. I was trying to help him get dressed and kept saying something like "I put my pants on one leg at a time and I make gold records." It was hilarious. It was also funny watching him try to get the straw from his ginger ale in his mouth with his tongue while the nurse took his vitals.

 He should heal well, but please pray that he will make a full recovery so that he can be a successful surgeon and help people in the future the way he was helped today!
Here he is post-op:

The Finger

Last Sunday Stephen broke his right ring finger playing frisbee. He laid out for one pretty early on in the game. He didn't catch it, but he did finish the game like a champ. Later we went for x-rays and he got a splint (with a bright purple wrap). He has had to go on his last orthopedic interviews with a broken finger. Kind of ironic huh?

New Years/Birthday 2010

On New Years Eve I turned a quarter of a century. We went over to Casa de Cogdill for a New Years/Birthday party. They even made me a cake! It was a blast. It always is with those crazy kids  : )

Congrats Becky!

So I know I am a little late, but I wanted to say congrats to my wonderful friend Becky. She was married on Dec. 18th. She was a beautiful bride and I was honored to stand with her on her special day.

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. -Gen 2:24

I love you Becky and I am so excited for the two of you!
