A Quick Update . . .

Hi guys--just wanted to let you know that Eric is doing really well. He had his first physical therapy appointment on Monday. In addition to giving him some exercises to do at home, they changed the dressing on his injury, and I'm happy to report that he's now sporting a fabulous all-black splint, (with matching black velcro straps). It's much more comfortable for him, and it's just plain cool. You should see how they made it! They took this soft, moist, black material out of a sunken heated storage unit in the counter and layed it over Eric's arm. They wanted his fingers at 30 degrees . . . so the physical therapist gently molded it over his hand, wrist, and arm until it hardened. At that point, they trimmed it so it only covered the top of him and added the velcro so it stays put. It's just the neatest thing . . . I'll post a picture soon.

And today is his first day back. He'll be going in for a half day, and taking it easy. Good Luck Sweetie!

Your poor husband! I hope he is feeling okay - it sound so painful! Although, a movie marathon doesn't sound TOO bad :)
