We headed to the doctor on Tuesday to get the cast off and have her arm re-casted. Well, the doctor was so pleased with her progress, she did NOT need a new cast. He put her in a splint (she has to wear it ALL the time) and we scheduled therapy. The next big decision we will need to make is whether to make her index finger into a thumb and her middle finger an index finger, therefore giving her a "pincher". The doctor has a few young patients he has done this with lately and he has promised to call me over when they are here (parents permission of course) so I can see the benefits. We would not do this until Fall, so we have a lot of time to make the right decision.
And without further ado...(if you have a weak stomach, beware)

Honestly, how awesome is that?

Looks really, really good! I'm so glad you'll get to see what the dr. is thinking before having to decide. I hope you get a good OT for that therapy! (: If not, come to Kansas and I'll take care of you! Seriously, I'm so glad everything went so well.
