this morning, i walked in on a conversation between teacher and parent.  parent was telling teacher about status of other parent, who is recovering from a car accident.  the other parent almost lost a finger due to the damage it recieved.  so the parent is telling the teacher about the 9 pins in the finger, that the hand really can't be used right now, and that another surgery will likely be needed.  thankfully, it looks like the finger will not need to be amputated, as previously thought.

teacher did a superb job of listening actively, nodding and making appropriate comments of support. 

as the conversation came to a close and parent was leaving, teacher says...


"we'll keep our fingers crossed..."
