Alley, thank you for the update, we have all been waiting. I'm sorry about your hand. It's amazing you can type at all! Those must be some great painkillers. Take care and get some sleep.

I am really sorry to hear about your hand, but ironically it does tells us that Davy is still strong. It's good to hear that he's been stable so far. I pray that he starts to show improvement soon.

Thank you very much for posting the photos. I'm pretty sure God knew who we hand in mind from the start, but it is nice for us to have a face in mind when praying for Davy.

I continue to pray for Davy's improvement and recovery. Stay strong for him and your family (and as Redfeathers alluded, please don't hurt your hand typing).

Alley, I sent you a PM and just wanted to let you know, I haven't been online in days and just skimmed through all this so if I am repeating, I am sorry!!

We are praying very hard for you and your whole family!!

And something very useful the inlaws (not you with a broken hand) can be doing is what they call passive range of motion. Pick his leg up and bend his knee and rotate his foot etc and repeat with his arm. And make sure they are turning him at least every two hours. Skin breakdown happens very rapidly and puts a huge stress on the body.

Blessings upon blessings to you!!

Well as I hear from tonight's nurse it's me typing is entertaining. I am only using one hand and it takes awhile to get things said. Its even worse trying to play games there are only a few I can do right now. I think I am never going to be able to lay down in a bed and sleep during the night ever again. I was thinking that with the pain pills I would have been out like a light. But no, my hand is killing me. And some one a few doors down needs to be drugged as well.I feel bad for them who ever they are. What ever is wrong with them must be bad cause I think people 3 floors down are probably hearing her to. I am not irratated by her, infact I wish I could get away with going over and seeing if there is anything I can do. But knowing my luck I will hold out my good hand for her to shake and she will try to take it off to. Then I wont be able to pass my time away by talkinmg to you guys. Tomarrow I have to leave here for a while and go to Davy's college with all the doctors notes saying hes not in school because he's here. This is going to be a hot topic in the future between Davy and I . He has been busting his butt trying to get through college an dbackm into a carreer that wont hurt his body so much. I am worried he will throw up his hands and quit after this. I have told him that I wont stay with him if he ever went back to driving a truck, and I meant it. I have watched him get hurt over and over and I cant take it any more. If he intentionally goes and does it he knowingly could put himself in a wheel chair. I am hoping that the college will work with us and since we are still at the very begining of the semester they will let him get through this and then come back next semester maybe. I dont know how that all works but I am hoping it will go that way. Anyway I am going to getoff of here and go get some tea or something to coat my stomach. Talk to you all again, soon.

So sorry about your hand

I am so glad Davy has that strength but not about your hand being hurt. I will keep praying for him, you and family.

Sorry about your hand! But, Davy is strong. That has to help you know he has a fighting chance! Still praying for you. Please take care of yourself.

Alley, I am so sorry about your hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The universe sometimes seems to revel in adding insult to injury. I hope it feels better soon. As others have said, Davy is really strong so that's good! But yes, many many arts and crafts shows are in his future

Thinking of you lots and hoping, really hoping, you can get some rest and nourishment, so you don;t get sick.

Oh Alley....I am so sorry to hear about your hand...well...sorta...at least this means Davy has great strength in him. THIS is great news. Strong heart....strong body. My DH is alot like yours...when he gets hurt, or sick, he gets mad. Glad that doesnt happen too often. You are all still in our prayers....Stay strong. We are all here for you any time.

Alley....I would take the hand thing as a possitive sign that Davy still has a lot of fight and strenght in him. He is not giving up! Some day you two will laugh about the time he broke your hand!! I hope it feels better soon. The picture of you typing with one hand makes me giggle!!

Hang in there

I'm so sorry about your hand. As others have said at least it shows he has strength left to fight with-a good thing.

You did the right thing by your nephew and niece. Your family needs to stop and re-evaluate things. He was hurting his children which are their family also! Children are precious and need to be protected. Your brother made his choices the kids had no choice! Good for you and Davy!

Hope your hand gets better soon. Stay strong and have a safe trip today.
