Update on Gail's surgery

Because so many have asked (and we do appreciate the concern and the prayers)...

She's doing fine physically, other than the inconveniences that come with being "one-handed". Wednesday she returns to see her surgeon, followed up with a visit to the physical therapist. There will be a regimen of exercises she'll need to do to rehab her finger. That will continue for several weeks. Her arm is in a cast and a sling. It's amazing what a tiny puncture wound to a pinky finger can do to upset your routine.

This is her busiest time of year in her business, and that's been difficult because she is very limited as to what she can do.

Her biggest disappointment is in not being able to help out with Gwyneth like she had hoped.

But I will say that she has had most excellent care from her primary care-giver!

It only takes one arm to cradle and rock a baby...and nobody knows how to rock a baby as good as a grandma.

Happy to hear Gail is doing well. There will still be much care needed for Gwyneth( Nate and Tricia too) as soon as she is better.

Sure can understand Gail's frustration with not being able to do what she had hoped with Gwyneth right now! Even though her head knows there will be lots of time for grandmothering in the months ahead, her heart was planning to do that right now. Funny how that distance from head to heart can seem insurmountable at times! I'm continuing to pray for God's peace for you in this...and am so very thankful that the physical part of the healing process seems to be on target to date!
