Hey friends. How was your weekend? Even with all the craziness of mom life right now, we had a good weekend.
Friday
The doctor showed up the x-rays they took before his surgery. As you can see the bone is completely broke and not in the right place. With it being so broke it also hit a nerve.
Here is the after surgery with the 3 pins holding the bone in place. When they changed his cast we were able to see what it looked like from the outside. The pins remind me of tent steaks with the 7 shaped lip.
The bad news. Austin has nerve damage. He is unable to bend his thumb and index finger to max an O shaped. He also doesn't have much strength in them. With that he is unable to play video games or hold a pencil or anything with his right hand, and he is right handed. He has been doing awesome with eating with his left hand. He can still play on the tablet with his left hand. This all has been a rude awakening of what he can't do from running around, riding his bike, etc.
After Austin's appointment I headed to the school to pick up my daughter's friend who I was watching last week. We headed home, the girls played. My girlfriend and her daughters ended up staying for dinner. We enjoyed bottle of wine and homemade pizza. After they left Brian, Austin, Anna and myself went across the street to our neighbors house to watch a little of the Cavs game. The kids watching tv and the girls played with playdough. I took the kids home and put them to bed around 9 while Brian stayed to watch the rest of the game.
Saturday
I have all the intentions of sleeping in as late as I could. I hadn't been sleeping well since Austin's accident and checking on him numerous times a night. Also getting up with Ella every morning at 6am. My sleeping in only lasted until 715 but I will take it.
Brian made breakfast tacos.
Then it was off to soccer. Poor kid just couldn't get comfortable and he was bored. So he took a small nap.
Anna did good at soccer. She scored a goal and stayed focused.
After soccer it was home to do Ella's hair and get her ready for Music ala mode. Music ala mode is our school districts biggest fundraiser for the music programs. It is an all day event from 10 am to 10 pm. There are performances from 5 grade to high school in choir, band, orchestra, and all the elite groups. This year Ella was in band and choir.
Ella also had an outfit change, so we came home between performances, one was at 1240 and the other was at 2. I forgot to take a picture of the second dress, which she stole from my closet.
She did great and we had a good time. We only watched her performances and Ella and I went back and watched the show choir for the middle school that she wants to audition for next year.
The rest of the evening was low key. Brian and Austin watched Star Wars. Ella hung out in her room then ventured to the basement to watch tv. I curled up in my bed and enjoyed a night of binging a few more episodes of Vampire Diaries.
Sunday
The guys also all signed Austin's cast.
We ended the night with showers and bedtime stories to get ready for the week ahead.
