Brody's surgery

Brody's Bowling Fiasco





Monday January 21st at the clinic. Brody had xrays and we found out he had shattered his thumb. He was so brave in the office!










Surgery:Brody and Nurse Deb Tuesday the 22nd.
Brody didn't like waking up from anesthesia. He was a WILD man!!!!!
Tatelee and Brody. Tatelee likes to snuggle with Brody while he's hurt. She doesn't like to leave his side.



On sat January 20th we went bowling with Michael, Shaunie and family. During the eigth frame Brody started to bowl but the game came to a very quick halt as he crushed his thumb between the bumper, the ball and his own weight. Brody was taken to his mom's office where Dr. Johnson, hand surgeon, met us there and stablized his thumb. On Monday the 21st we had a follow up at the clinic. After xrays were taken, we found out that Brody had crushed his thumb and had a pretty bad fracture. So on Tuesday, Brody had extensive surgery at the Central Utah Surgical Center. Brody now has 3 pins holding his thumb together and also had reconstrction done to his thumb. He will keep the pins in for 3-4 weeks. Here are some of the photos from Brody's newest adventure...

Brody knocks 1 tooth out and has 2 pulled...

Jan 14 2008: 1700 Braxton and Brody were playing at their dads and Brody fell into the marble coffee table. He knocked one tooth completely out and had to go to the dentist and have the other two pulled. Brody has two very fat lips and an abrasion on his chin too.
He was so brave. The top three teeth are now gone. Dr Crawford was nice enough to stay afterhours and take care of us.
Brody is one tough kid!!!!!

Visiting New Hampshire Jan 2008








Angela Williams and I visited Brandt and Gina (Landon) Madsen this January for a short weekend trip. Angela and Gina are two of Kim's great friend who helped her survive getting her Master's degree at BYU. Gina's husband is at law school and they recently added Landon to the clan. He is 5 mos old and so adorable. They visited Boston while they were there. (Kim is still a Yankees fan!) I had my first bowl of real Boston clam chowder,
