~Austin's Accident~

We had an unfortunate accident last week, involving Dusty, Austin and a chainsaw. Austin is recovering very well.
He was cut to the bone. He needed stitches in the muscle, cartilage and the outer skin. We are glad to report no nerve damage or loss of mobility.

 He was taken into surgery and put under in order for the doctors to go into the hand and do the needed repairs.

 After surgery he was admitted into the pediatric wing for further recovery.
Here's a picture taken 4 days later. He should have the stitches removed next week. Praise and glory to God for saving him. We are so thankful that he walked away with full movement of his hand, overflowing with thankfulness.
