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:
