Andy had his stitch removed. The doctor recommended physical therapy two times a week. Hopefully, this will stimulate the muscles and nerves that have collected over his pointer-finger to go back into place, as it appears the muscles have gathered around the knuckle. It looks strange, but is not causing any discomfort.

I don't want to downplay Andy's situation, as it was pretty severe (although he is incredibly lucky)... but, just in case I didn't mention it before- we are figuring that Sampson had over 125 stitches altogether. Approximately= 35 down the right pelvis/rump area, another 35 down the left pelvis/rump area, and 65 down his left side where his arm was removed. Pretty incredible, especially seeing how well the skin has healed in all three areas.

Tough guys!
