Jarad

On Tuesday December, 23 Jarad went in to have surgery on his hand/wrist. Nothing major or life threatening just a simple surgery, that's what we thought anyway. Let me back up a few months and explain.

A couple months ago he noticed a growth if you will, on his wrist. He said it hurt a little but didn't really think anything of it. He knew he needed to get it looked at but didn't make the time. Then it started growing and becoming more painful and uncomfortable. He went to the doctor to get it looked at they thought it was a cyst and tried to drain it by sticking a needle in his wrist. That didn't work so they decided he would need to have surgery.

The surgery went great and the growth was just that. A growth nothing more. The recovery however hasn't been so great. He was not prepared for all of the pain and the limited mobility of his right hand/wrist. There was a notch on his bone that the doctor had to scrape off which helps explain all of the pain. It will probably be a month or so until he has full movement of his wrist.

Livi now points to his hand and says, boo boo. It is so cute. Livi saying that not Jarad's hand! Well I guess his hand is kind of cute too.
