Journal Entry-October 8, 2009

It's back to the Center for Special Surgery on Monday for Joey! He needs pins and possibly a plate to repair the damage to his finger. It was officially diagnosed as an "angulated fracture of the 5th finger". We have to be there by 8:00 and surgery will begin around 9:30. We appreciate your prayers for him and for Dr. Rudisill as he operates. There is a chance that the tendon at the first finger joint may freeze up while the finger is immobile, so we are praying that it will be minimal and no function will be lost. Joey is also praying that he will still be able to try out for basketball at school. He has been really focusing on improving his basketball skills for over 6 months in anticipation of trying out. Thanks for praying with us!
Dr. Go said that the Tamoxifen may be causing my aches and back pain, so I'm going off of it for 3 weeks and we'll see if that helps.
Countdown to Hair Day...4 days!!
