Sean-O-Meter Update May 9

Here is the new card total:



Thank you to Tricia and Steve for adding to the total.

And I added a Topps 1973 card to the collection.





We also had some great news this week. Sean had been bothered with a fever and it appeared his arm may have been infected. If it got into the bone, we would have a major problem. So we had a two and a half hour trip to the surgeon in Chicago for a checkup. His exam revealed only an infection around the area of the pins. An antibiotic would clear that up. But even better, the x-ray showed the arm healing nicely and so the pins were removed and the cast was tossed! We are down to just a sling. We go back to the doctor in three more weeks and hopefully Sean can resume normal activities, like baseball, after that.

The other nice thing about the trip was that the doctors office was at Illinois Masonic Hospital. The hospital is on the north side of Chicago, less than a mile from a certain major league ball park. So after the appointment, we went to lunch at the McDonalds across Clark Street from Wrigley Field. After lunch, we snapped this picture (and please excuse my wife's finger on the camera).



No bone infection, no more cast, and a quick visit to Wrigley Field made for a great day!
