Button Button who's got the button?

Abe does!  Actually he has 2 that are keeping the tendons tight that are in his fingers that the doctor repaired.  Today we went to the doctor and two hours later we finally left.  The nurse took his bandage off, the doctor took his pin out and the most exciting thing -- she left the bandage off!  Abe still can't drive the semi and his hand is very sensitive.  We will go back in 2 weeks and hopefully the doctor will take the buttons off and his hand will feel a whole lot better!  We are praising God that he didn't cut hand worse than what he did.  The doctor said more than once today that he was very lucky that he didn't loose any fingers.  We would appreciate prayers for the next 2 weeks to go quickly, for continued healing on Abe's fingers, and patience for Abe that he doesn't try to do more things than what he should. 

Note ** I am going to post a picture of Abe's hand - what you will see is the buttons on his fingers and some dried blood - his hand is too sensitive right now to clean it up.  The white on his arm is lotion.
