The Nose Job

Wednesday afternoon Travis went in to have the surgery done to fix the four wheeler damage to his nose. I don't think anyone anticipated the pain he would experience. He tells us that the repair hurts far worse than the initial break. He has silicone splints up inside each nostril and a cast on the outside. He goes in Tuesday afternoon to have all of that removed. In the meantime, it is essential for him to keep up with his pain medication. Nights seem to be the worst since he can't recline at all. We will all be glad when this week is over and Travis is feeling better.

Grandma Amy and Papa made the trip over to help. Bless them! I think we are tiring them right out. Grandma is cooking, chasing babies, feeding babies, changing diapers, keeping Jake busy, and even fit in a batch of cookies.

It is a little hard to see but Emma and Jake both bandaged their noses last night.

And here is our dear patient. He looks a little high doesn't he?

Emma is always so willing to help. Travis can't bend over so she helped him put his socks on.
