catching up, go Harry Potter!!!

It has been a while I know but most of the time I can't think of anything to write, plus I talk to most of you on a daily or weekly basis.

Here goes. Yes, we say Harry Potter and got the book. Yes, Corbin has read it once and is on his second time through. He has hated the fact that he is working now because he couldn't read it in one day. Yes, I know how it ends and I have finally agreed to read the first one to Trent. If he likes it I may go onto the rest. Corbin is working at Smith's as a bagger. He likes it ok and I think it is great because he is no longer a fixture on the couch. I was just telling him the other day that I don't think he has hung out with his friends all summer and he agreed.

Trent's arm is healing and hopefully will be fine. It wasn't too encouraging at the last appointment though. The bone is healing fine but not the growth plate. We will just have to wait and see. He has a half cast now and is supposed to be using his arm but most of the time he walks around as if it was still in the cast. He may need to go to physical therapy to get him to start using it again. Today we go to the orthodontist to put in some kind of implant in his mouth to keep the tongue back where it belongs. This should be fun.

Well here it is our third item. I guess missing the bus didn't count. Trevor, while at scout camp, dived into the pool and somehow separated the tendon from the tip of his middle finger on his left hand. Now this is normally not a big deal if you want to walk around with a mallet finger, but in the day and age of computers and technology, he really need to have the tip working properly. We have it in a splint and when all the doctors get back from vacation, we will be taking him in to see if it is healing on it's own or if he will be needing surgery. What a fun summer this has been so far.
