Will has completely impressed me. For being home for only one week, he has done a great job transitioning. He is warming up to Mommy and he loves Daddy and the kids. He had his first doctor's appointment, and the doctor was really impressed with our little fellow. He recommended that we don't do anything with his arm until he has stopped growing. This seems to be the leading piece of advice. A coworker of Jim's, who is also missing a hand due to an accident when she was a toddler, highly recommend doing nothing. Her boss was very skeptical that she could do the job, so he put her on 90 days probation. Within 30 days, she was hired full time and never looked back.
Will also had the trauma of having blood work and shots. The pediatrician was very skeptical of the shots he received, so he STRONGLY recommended that we redo them. The shots have definitely put Will in a touchy mood along with a running fever. It's been a long two days. Last night he slept like a champ so I'm hoping we are through the worst of it.
Today, we are a bit nervous. We are heading off to Mobile to visit the USS Alabama Battleship. Jim and the our older boys are going to be spending the night on the ship. Will is staying with mom and the girls without daddy. That's why mommy is nervous. Hopefully, he will sleep well and not wake the entire hotel up!
I'll post pictures on Sunday when we get home from our first adventure.

He will soon be a momma's boy I just know it. He is after all, Jim's son! Hope y'all have a great weekend. I must have missed a blog or something about the hand. What is up with that? Take care, Uncle Chuck....
