Jake Has Fingers

Today, Jake got his fingers with the removal of his casts on both hands. He still has plenty of healing left to do as the skin grafts continue to take and the stitches dissolve. But, he has the four fingers in place and the fifth will come in May. Jake was much happier once we were home and of course all he wants to do is put his fingers in the mouth. To prevent possible infection of the open wounds, we aren't letting him until the stitches and fingers heal more. He wears splints now at night to keep the fingers in alignment as without them the scar tissue could pull them downward. He is much lighter now and looked way more comfortable as I put him down for bed tonight. Maybe just maybe he'll sleep a tad better. Well this first chapter is closed and we look forward to watching Jake learn how to use his new fingers and how he adapts. Here's a little photo of Jake tonight....
