Well, it's been a weird summer. Not too hot - ever. Quite a cool one actually, which leads me to dread the upcoming winter. I just hope it's not going to be too cold.
With what summer we've had we've managed to pack a lot in. Camping, parks, pool, lake, fishing, playing with friends - you know, the usual. The only major things that have happened is Hanna got stitches on the top of her right foot from the back gate (fixed that) and Brigit broke her right ring finger just off the knuckle. Hanna is healed and the scar is going to be minor. Brigt is still healing. They are letting her finger remodel and she is getting more of her mobility and strength back. Xander has had the usual bumps and bruises kids get from playing hard, nothing major to report. (I hope I didn't just curse myself!)
The only thing left of the summer (planned anyway) is Judd gets to bring the scouts to Boundary Waters and I don't get to go this time. Hopefully we'll get to go as a family next year. Of course we'll get more parks and pools in and probably some more playing with friends. Enjoy the rest of your summer!!

So you did finally bring Brigit in to get her finger checked out. How long did she go with a broken finger?
By the time we saw a second specialist she was about 4-5 weeks healed. Both said that if we would have brought her in right away they may have done surgery. The first one said that he could still do surgery - chip it off and put it back with more risk for complications/infections. But the second one said that her finger is tracking fine and the bone has already started to remodel. He also took another set of x-rays (almost 2 weeks later than the first ones) and we could see the bone growth. We went with the second opinion. It's amazing how the body heals itself, especially the young ones.
