Post #9 of Personal Project 52 weeks.<\/em><\/p>\n

It has been quite a week. Mattias started the week sick and puking. Noah was sick and puking by Thursday night and all day Friday. For once, I was spared. God knew that I would need my strength for something different.<\/p>\n

Art sustained a work injury on Wednesday. He called me on his way to the ER at 9:00 AM. His hand was hurt in a forklift accident. He was calm and coherent so I didn\u2019t think that much of it. He couldn\u2019t tell me anything. Was he in pain? Yes. Did it look bad? Yes. Honestly though, I thought he\u2019d be home in a couple hours. Or at least I could pick him up on my way to Mattias\u2019 doctors appointment.<\/p>\n

A couple of hours later he called again. He was on morphine for the pain. He had been sent for X-rays. They were bringing in the hand specialist and he would be booked for surgery at 8 PM. Yikes. Surgery. Two broken fingers and a crushed knuckle. We quickly headed out to see him.<\/p>\n

Forty-five minutes for the surgery, they said. And of course, the surgery was delayed. I\u2019m glad we decided that I should go home for a good night\u2019s rest because surgery took 3 1\/2 hours and then not back in his room until 2:00 AM.<\/p>\n

The prognosis is that the knuckle is shattered. Like cornflakes, the doctor said. He spent 1 hour trying to put back together the knuckle. The other breaks will heal. But he will likely not have use of that one finger.<\/p>\n

It could have been worse. Much worse. For that we are so thankful. Praise the Lord for He is good. We continue to rely on Him for all our needs.<\/p>\n

\"Aldergrove<\/p>\n

* Art with his club. It\u2019s a pretty soft club. Tensor bandages and gauze. There appears to be some kind of splint to hold his fingers and hand in position.<\/p>\n

* Salad for dinner<\/a>. This one is from the cover of the summer issue of Kraft Canada. I hoard these magazines for the eye candy. Just looking at them makes me drool. Made my own dressing.<\/p>\n

* Mattias. Such an easy laugh. He brings us so much joy. He is especially goofy at the dinner table.<\/p>\n

* Art modeling the dish brush (pre-injury). De Laval farm dish brush. They last forever. We are doing a fundraiser for the Aldergrove Church kitchen to sell them. You can own one for $13.<\/a> We are also selling commercial glassware. This stuff is really nice, super durable and really affordable! We got GREAT prices on it! Order some for yourself or as a gift. It will last!<\/p>\n

* Parsley. It\u2019s taking over my garden. Not really but it is really lush and thick. Like I wish my grass looked.<\/p>\n

* Art\u2019s meds. Every 4 hours.<\/p>\n

* Raspberry shortcake and blueberry shortcake. From Krause Berry Farms<\/a>. I need to know how to make this. Yes, they have a mix for the shortcake but I\u2019d like to make it from scratch. The raspberry one is particularly yummy.<\/p>\n

* Dill flowers are so pretty. But letting them bloom kills the dill. Oops.<\/p>\n

* Another salad inspiration<\/a> from Kraft Canada. Except, I just used lemon + olive oil for the dressing. And fresh herbs: parsley + cilantro.<\/p>\n

Up next, full post of the newborn session with Caleb.<\/p>\n
