Health Update Round 2 – Cast 2

Posted by BaBa under: Daily Life .

Today brought the removal of the drain from his cast. We were so glad to see that the arm was still flat and it appears that the drain served its purpose along with the surgeon getting the small veins cauterized.

The nice thing about this process is that it really was out before Sheridan knew it or could worry that it would hurt. We left from the office to go straight to a service station as we drove the small pickup and it had a slow leak in a tire. With the air taken care of, we went to a consignment sale in Woodstock. We got a few clothes and some educational games. While there we noticed the double strollers. Donna would need one of these soon as Shelby would have a little sister on the way. We called Donna and we had picked out the right model, but not with the right equipment. Donna is like my father in transportation shopping. Dad loves to buy new cars and his most important consideration is (drum roll) CUP HOLDERS. Donna also wanted cup holders. With 4 kids, I cannot blame her as this is really practical.

We were going to take Sheridan to the big sale we had shopped at last night before we headed home. We did and lucked into Donna’s stoller with 5 yes 5 cup holders and a small closed bin. How cool. It had been put on hold and the hold had just expired. We bought the stroller and a couple of small things for Sheridan. The main reason for the trip was to pickup the plastic picnic table purchased last night. We noticed that all of our large items were gone along with most of the shoes we had for sale. Things were looking good.

We finished the day with a evening at a member of our Church’s House for an international student gathering to kick off the Olympics. It went OK, but we all were tired and left early to get him home to bed. We soon followed.
