Mason's thumb

So I think the last month has been the longest posting drought in this blog's history. Kids and work are keeping us busy.

About a month ago, Mason had surgery on his right thumb. He had never been able to straighten it, a condition called "trigger thumb." Champaign-Urbana lacks a pediatric hand surgeon, which necessitated numerous trips to Springfield.

The good news is that the surgery went great, Mason can bend his thumb, and a few weeks later the scar is starting to fade a bit. Mason was very brave during the whole process and loves to show people how his thumb works.

At least he's got his car

No more bandage

Gig 'em, Aggies! He's also halfway to a "Guns Up Texas Tech!" Both schools would be proud to have him. :-)
