My youngest has/had a funny little finger. We discovered last summer that his left index finger had a bump at the joint and it was growing crooked. Our initial thought was that he broke it, but he was diagnosed with an exostosis and referred to Shriner's Hospital in Springfield, MA. He had the surgery this week. Instead of rewriting it, you can read about the visit here. And see more pictures here.
Along with the care of the excellent staff and volunteers, comfort came in the form of items donated to the hospital, including the handmade ripple-stitch afghan and matching teddy bear given to our little guy as he was coming out of surgery.
If any of you make items and donate them to hospitals around the country, know that they are very much appreciated by their recipients.

Look at that bandage! Does he mind it much?
Awww, Julie...he looks so precious...I hope it all went well for him and for you!! It can be so hard on the parents going through things like these. How sweet for people to donate such wonderful handmade goodies to these babies! Hope everyone is resting well. xxoo, Dawn
I have never done that, making and donating items to hospitals. It's a wonderful idea!
I'm glad your little man is doing well. He's adorable!
I'm glad it's over, and I hope it doesn't cause him any future problems.
xoxo
