Switching gears and two babies???

Normally this would be my regular "Wine-down Wednesday" post, but in honor of my BFF over at the Seattle Smith's, I'm going to switch gears and jump on her "Wishful Wednesday" bandwagon!

In the words of Kels', "Wishful Wednesday is supposed to be something to get us through those lovely hump days. It may be a wish, a hope, a dream, or an aspiration -- some topics may be fun and playful and others more insightful -- but most importantly, it will give us an opportunity to get to know our fellow bloggers a little bit better, and see what makes each of us tick...
The plan is for me to post an 'I wish ...' theme every Monday evening for you fabulous ladies to post on Wednesdays. I am a west coast girl and often blog in the evenings right before bed, so this will give you east coast girls time to get those juices flowing and be able to post sometime throughout the glorious hump day that we like to call Wednesday."

So if you don't follow her already you should! Just hop on over to her blog on Monday's to check out the theme and get your brains turning for the big Wishful Wednesday post.

The first Wishful Wednesday post theme is: 'I wish' .... I could go back in time and change one decision I made, and it would be ____!

For some reason, I CANNOT think of something I could go back in time and change! I really can't. I can honestly say, every decision...good and bad...have made me who I am today and without them I wouldn't be the same person. Boring answer I know. :(

This may look like a happy hubby, but you would be quite wrong! Here is my precious hubs sitting in the ER waiting to hear the fate of his right "trigger" finger and his left thumb. He's only smiling because I said, "babe, its for the blog." An hour earlier: he and his dad were pulling a tree stump out of the ground with one end of a chain tied around the stump and the other end to the truck. At the WRONG time, Blake begins to adjust the chain while the truck began to heave foward trying to pull the stump out...therefore, trapping and crushing his finger and thumb between the chain and tree. I'm so glad it wasn't all of his fingers or his hand! I just so happened to be at the gym and seriously just put one foot on the elliptical when I got a phone call saying I needed to come get Colt because Blake had an accident and they were headed to the ER. I showed up at the ER too see Blake looking studly in his "working outside attire" which includes boots, t-shirt, and shorts. Love that man, he always keeps me on my toes. To make a long story short, it turns out Blake has crushed both his thumb and his finger the day before dove season starts including a giant laceration on his thumb which looks like a nasty scene from a horror movie if you ask me! What a bummer!!! They sent us to a hand surgeon (whom we saw today) to see if he needed surgery. The Doc confirmed his broken thumb, but it should heal with no surgery and he will take his stitches out in a few weeks. His finger is also broken and will need surgery to put pins in it to hold it in place while it heals. We go in on Tuesday for that fun stuff. As you can imagine, I've been VERY busy these past 2 days as a stay at home mom of a 7 month old as well as a stay at home nurse to a 26 year old. From dressing and cleaning wounds, administering medicine, making bottles, fixing lunches, giving baths (yes, plural), AND finding time to do the normal daily house cleaning duties...I'm worn out! Two babies is a lot :)

With all of that said, both of his fingers are wrapped and can't get wet, they need to be elevated and he's on antibiotics every 6 hours for 7 days to insure no infection gets into his thumb. Lots of pain has been had, but the meds have seemed to dull the pain. Let's all be thankful for our fingers!!! I'm just glad it didn't rip his fingers totally off!

And of course, B's first question to the Dr was "can I hunt?" The doc didn't seem to have a problem with it, but just said "as long as you can tolerate the pain." Blake liked that answer, but still doesn't know if he can do it just yet. If he does, I will definitely be taking a picture of his goofy gun hold.

I hope everybody has a happy 3 day weekend and stay safe!
