An Update {The Thumb}

Olivia's surgery took about three hours on Friday.  The wait wasn't horrible until that last 15 minutes or so, oy vey...Anyway, we finally got back to see her and talk to the surgeon who was VERY pleased with himself how things came out.  He shared a couple pictures, one of which I will post at the bottom for those who don't care to see...its not really graphic and its an awesome sight to behold.  We are very hopeful that it will function just as it is meant to!

Livi's pain was high on Friday and Saturday but I am telling you, this girl is a rock star!

By Sunday she was up and about, taking only ibuprofen and on Monday, we girls all went to lunch and shopping, and she did great!  I think she just forgot about it.  So I felt it would be okay to send her to school Tuesday, as she seemed fine.  Got a quick note from her teacher that she was indeed doing well and there was no complaining. Not even a mid day need for meds. 

She can wiggle her three fingers AND her thumb, everything is pink and pretty and we have high hopes that this will be a huge success!  Stay tuned!
