Wrist Update and Gabe's new brush

Craig had his post surgery appointment yesterday and things seem to be progressing well. The tube was taken out of the wound and the bandages were taken off, as well. His hand was then put into a splint and re-wrapped; but the wrap can be taken off to be washed. So he will get this taken off on March 1.

Craig says his hand feels a little better every day and he can move his fingers around with no pain. His scar will definitely be a lot bigger this time, but I think our main concern is that after it fully heals, he'll be able to function normally on computer and design related activities and that the cyst will not return.

On a side note, I had to entertain Gabe for over an hour because there was a 40 minute wait in Dr. Layman's office (he seems to be pretty popular). We divided our time between being in the lobby and being on the 2nd floor, where the doctor's office was. The second floor was much better for him to explore because there were hardly any people in the hallways, while the lobby was of course quite crowded. So Gabe was great until about 5-10 minutes before Craig was done and he started getting tired and cranky.

We just received Gabe's new brush and comb set in the mail. As his hair is getting longer and thicker, the baby combs are not cutting it. I've already broken one comb trying to detangle his hair, lol. So I got the toddler Denman brush.

A Denman brush is basically a very sturdy hair tool for people who have very thick and/or coarse hair. I have an adult Denman (D3) and use that to detangle my own hair and it's a an absolute breeze (when my hair is soaking wet with conditioner, that is). So once Gabe began outgrowing his baby combs, I needed to find a similar tool for his hair. And I found it! The comb is actually attached to the brush. Can't wait to use it for his next bath.
