Punch Card

Is there a punch card for casts? You know like the sandwich shop, buy 5 get the 6th free? Or the cheap hair-cut place, every 10th haircut is free. Well, if there's a program out there for arm casts, splints, or braces I want my punch card!

Just a recap, this was last April:

Yesterday we went in to get a few x-rays to see if his arms are growing at the same rate. We left the doctor's office with this:

The doctor started talking about putting on a cast that would go up and over the thumb, Blake just about fell off the table. Finally they said we could try a brace (he has a broken thumb). Not a happy kid, this is the best picture I could get of the brace. Yes, ice cream fixes everything.


Brooklyn mentioned to me that it's not so bad when this happens, she always gets a blizzard and Grandma and Grandpa bring over almost every type of ice cream Safeway sells.

I'll sign the petition to get it going. Where do I sign?

Seriously, he has the worst luck. And you should get a volume discount at the ortho. surgeon (do you like that abbreviation so I don't have to figure out how to spell it?).

Oh no! That is a good idea - the punch cards. Darn it. But yes, ice cream does fix everything and I agree with Brooklyn, she's got the good end of the deal! Sorry I didn't get back to you about the golf, can you tell me what's going on with that? Sorry I've been MIA starting my new job this week.
