Jules-n-Jud + Luke + Andrew: Life Lately

I noticed I had not updated the blog in a while, so I thought I would for all of you who are not on FB and may not know what all the Young's have been up to. Yesterday Luke had surgery in Huntsville. We are trying to get that ring finger on his right hand to bend down. The doctor had told us going into the surgery that he wouldn't know what he would have to do until he got in there. We know that he needs a tendon graph, but we didn't know if it would have to be phased (as in do some reconstruction first and then come back for part 2) or if he could do the tendon graph as is. Well, the doctor said he didn't have much of a "pulley system" in there and so he is having to do the phased tendon graph. He put the rod/pipe (whatever it is) in there yesterday and then we will go back in 3-6 mths and try the tendon graph. He will then have to do some therapy and hopefully be good to go after that. That is the plan at least. So, there is the update on Luke.

Andrew is doing just fine. We go to Chicago for his first surgery Jan 17th. (Exactly a mth from Luke's) Nothing new to report there. Here are a few pictures off my phone that I thought I would share.

This child keeps falling asleep in the jumper. Cracks me up for some reason. He will wake up every now and then and do a few jumps and back to sleep he will go. HA!

Luke fell asleep like this the other night. He was mad at me about something (OH, he broke a Xmas ornament and I fussed at him) and he was in the floor pouting and then I look over and this is how he was. This was at 5:00PM and he slept until 7AM the next day. He never woke up.

Lauren sent me this picture. I just thought it was cute.

I LOL Saturday when Luke came out of his room dressed like this. So I made him let me take his picture. Engineer in the making my friends!

We took Luke to his first college football game Saturday. We went to the division 2 national championship game at UNA. He loved it!

Getting him ready for AU football next year! (And Mimi says some UA football, yeah yeah whatever)

And here we are again. This was Sunday after church.

Luke before surgery. Thanks to Mrs. Blankenship for the AU football/tiger!

Killing time before surgery.

All dressed in the gown.

Uncle Charlie came to see us before surgery! Luke loves Uncle Charlie.

This was in the recovery room. Usually parents don't get to go in during this time, but since he was a "baby/kid" they came and got me and I was able to be there when he woke up. I know now why parents don't like to see their child wake up. It will break your heart.
