Update on my hospital boys

So, Brandon went to the doctor for a follow-up for his kidney stones, and the doctor found a 7mm one in his kidney. Now, 7mm sounds tiny, but after going through this experience, and hearing from various family members and friends, 7mm is actually HUGE!! So, he's going into the hospital on the 14th of July for it to be blasted. He's also got several other 2 - 3 mm ones in his kidneys. They will be monitored, and if they stay small, he'll probably just pass them on his own.

Now, for Scott, he's going in for his 6th surgery (yes, 6th) on the 16th of July. His middle finger is growing crooked because the left part of the bone (where it connects to the hand) was fused together by the electricity running through his finger. Because of that, the left side of his middle finger isn't growing at all. So, the Dr. is going to go in, cut out that little portion of bone, and hopefully release it so that it will start to grow. His pointer finger has not grown at all since his accident, but that will be addressed further down the road as the rest of his body grows! (Just for a comparison - Gavin's pointer finger is now bigger than Scott's! Wow!)

I'll update and post pic's of my boys once they're out of surgery. I'm sure we'll have several follow-up appointments for both of them - makes me really glad Brandon has the whole summer off!
