When it rains....

So, Joel broke his hand yesterday. He was peddling his heart out to meet my mom and I at the house we'll probably be moving to in a month or so. He is so excited about the house (as am I) and was so ready to see the inside of it. Anyway, a garbage can got in his way, he tried to dodge it but his handlebar caught the side of it and he isn't sure exactly what happened next. This is what he looked like after a trip to the ER....

This picture looks much better than when we saw him for the first time (Although it kind of makes it look like he had to have a finger amputated. The rain isn't pouring that hard!).He was all dirty and bleeding and I almost cried my head off. Thankfully,I didn't. Anyway, it was a bad break and he has surgery scheduled for Tuesday! I'll let him fill you in on all of the medical details after he is rested. My main concern is for his heart. He is so sad because this means he can't do the babies cares (change their diapers, take temps,listen to heartbeats), take them out of their incubators and hand them to me, etc. It's going to be a hard for such a hands on Papa. He is in pretty good spirits, though, as we both know the accident could have been much worse. He hasn't had much pain yet and we are hoping that with the aid of painkillers that'll continue to be true.

One silver lining in the story is that because neither of us were able to go see the babies yesterday, the nurses bent the rules and let my mom hold Amelia! I was so excited for her. Here is a picture of the happy, happy Grammy holding her granddaughter for the first time...


That's all for now. We'll keep you updated:) Jen
