Oh so sweet he is!! I think that Austin is the best baby ever!! He is ALMOST always
so happy. Just a few pics taken recently. :)
After Bath time. The only time you will see his hair slicked down. After it dries - poof - it's out of control!!
Now to the interesting part. Nick had a little accident on 6/10/09. He picked a toilet up that had fallen off of a cart. It basically crumbled in his hands..and well below is the aftermath.I had JUST talked to him (which goes to show how fast something can happen). His friend Phil called to tell me he was in emergency surgery. I freaked out. Because nothing like this has ever happened (trauma) to me/us. I was thankful that my co-worker Loye drove me to the hospital. We waited for 6+ LONG hours until he was finally out of surgery. He basically severed ALL tenndons, blood vessels, nerves - and thankfully they were all able to be put back together. (Dr.Engles & Dr. Lindsay) He stayed in STICU the first night. And in a regular room the second. He was then released. And was back to be readmitted on Saturday night with a 104 fever. After tons of tests and Antibiotics, he was sent home again. It has been a long 2 weeks. And it will be a long road ahead to a full recovery. He has no feeling in his hand/fingers. So we will just keep working and praying that he continues on an upward path to healing. Being out of work for a minimum of 4-6 months will be hard for Nick. And hard for me. I've realized with him not being able to do much at all ~ how much he helped out around the house. Just keep us in your prayers!!!
