The quilt for your friend turned out beautifully! And now it's even more important to her. I'm sending thoughts and prayers her way, your way, and your daughter's way.
I SO UNDERSTAND you and your daughter wanting to have that surgery done at home. My son broke both wrists when he was in the Navy. He had the wrists set, then he talked the docs into sending him home on compassionate leave so Mom could take care of him, because he LITERALLY could do nothing for himself - not even put a fork to his mouth - because one cast went past his elbow - the other stopped short only so he could take care of 'personal needs.' The first thing we did was take him to OUR orthopedist for Xrays & his opinion. Fortunately, he agreed with the Navy docs, and I nearly fainted when I saw the Xrays.
