The day that Hyrum has been waiting for all Summer finally arrived! We drove into the city this morning to meet up with his surgeon and get the pin in his pinky taken out. He was so nervous and worried about how much it would hurt! The awesome surgeon did such a good job distracting him that it was out before Hyrum even knew what was happening. "Oh...that's it?!" was Hyrum's reaction. He was given a popsicle and a new splint to use when he is actively playing sports or running around for the next few weeks. It will take a bit for him to get full mobility back in his hand after being frozen in one position for so long. He could hardly make a fist and had a hard time moving his wrist at all. As soon as we got back to the car, he carefully unwrapped his hand and removed the splint. He said it felt so good, but also weird. Just a few more weeks of being careful before he can dirt bike again! We spent the rest of the afternoon picking up a few things he needed for school and walking through Costco.
