Boo Final Hand Update

We're 1 week away from recovery, which will be 12 wks post-surgery!  We got some exciting news from the Dr. and OT therapist, they are both surprised at how well Boo's recovery has moved along and the progress he has made in such little time.  Best of all he's not 'supposed' to be able to move the tip of his pinky finger (since the tendon was severed and the Dr. was unable to repair it) but he IS able to move it!  Praise God!  He does still have trouble fully closing it into a fist but they seem to think it'll get better as he continues to exercise and use the muscles. They have also really straightened out since he's been working hard to get it done so he can be done with therapy every week.  Boo is so ready to be able to fully participate in PE at school, I'm sure it's hard to sit out when you feel normal.  We just don't want the tendons to snap and have surgery again so we're mandating waiting the full 12 wks...which will be Jan 30th!

Closed hand, he shouldn't be able to bend the little finger like that...
