Talk about an accident

Well definately not a great end to a great weekend... Yesterday, my husband was working outside, making a sub box for his truck and well his hand slipped, and went through a table saw. Ya, you read right.  He was lucky not to have cut it completely off, that is forsure, however he has cut the bone in 2 places, meaning that he only has 1 of the 2 bones in the thumb left..  They have stiched him up, and casted it, now its the waiting game.  They are hoping with some Physio and OT that he will regain full use of it, with ofcourse some drawbacks in the strength department, but Scott is a tough cookie, so I know he will work to use it again 100%.  If it doesn't heal properly, to the point that he can use it or bear to live with it, they will then have to amputate up to the bend.  So not the entire thumb at least.....  Which he is not wanting to lead up to!  I don't blame him, but I want him to do whatever needs to be done.  Anyways, thought I would make a post about what going on over in the Breti house.  This has been a horrible NEW YEAR I must admit.  Cohen had Pneumonia, I have had an ear infection for 7 months, that I can't seem to get rid of, Scott had his accident, and well, I just hope Alyssa plays it safe.  Cause I can't bear anything more this year.     Thanks for reading.......  Stay tuned for Saturday's wedding pics.  A valentines wedding, bet it will be beautiful.    


Oh, and 1 more thing.  I would like to say thank you to Mom, Dad, Kira, & Andrea for taking care of the kids over the course of the day while Scott and I spent over 9 hours in Concordia, and Health Science Center Emergency rooms.....  Couldn't have been there for him without you guys, oh and definately can't forget good ol' neighbor Chris for coming to the rescue to remove the table saw and storing it in safe keeping till Scottie is up and well enough to even look at it, let alone put it away.  Back to taking care of my hubby, the house, and editing!
