Brandon's Thumb

In response to a comment that questioned the awesome black brace on Brandon's left hand, it would be appropriate to share that in early September Brandon chipped a portion of his thumb bone off while playing soccer. It seems to be healing with this soft brace, but he'll head back for more x-rays on the 14th of October. He hasn't slowed down too much with this brace, as he continues to play soccer on Sundays and also work at the computer everyday at Lifesprings- his ability to use keyboard shortcuts has been limited some, but he is coping well.

So, that's the nitty gritty with the brace. He so eloquently calls the brace his "Titan Thumb" and while he says that he makes a super hero motion slamming his "Titan Thumb" down onto an imaginary surface, furrowing his eyebrows and scowling like a mad man. That alone is entertainment enough for me to ease the thought of how much this "Titan Thumb" and my superhero husband is going to cost!
