Behind In Email
Posted on January 11th, 2008 by posh
My parents came in town early this morning. Earlier than I had thought, and Gabrielle had a minor surgery done today to remove two extra digits on her hands. She now can only count to ten, instead of 12. This should lessen the confusion for her two year old cousin….lol
You can see one of the extra fingers in this picture of her in her first cloth diaper. When she was still enough for me to pin twice! 
She was very brave and watched them perform the procedure and just cried a little during the whole thing. I also held up pretty well. Yay mom! Her hands are swaddled in wrap to protect the stiches she looks like a mini boxer. I will get more photos when she awakes and get to the emails ASAP.
Hope she heals quick and isn’t in any pain!
No pain! She has been such a trooper! There was no bone in the base where it connected to the hand. So the surgeon said that in essence is it just a skin wound and shouldn’t be very painful. She hasn’t even needed Tylenol. It was quite odd seeing the extra fingers sitting on the tray….lol. They covered them for me…lol.
Hugs Kyna!! Hope she heals quickly
Oh goodness! Hope she heals fast ~ you are brave for being able to watch it….my oldest DS got stitches in his chin this past summer and I think it was more traumatic for me than him! Sending healing hugs your way!
Wow Kyna! I didn’t know your lo was going in for surgery. I’m glad it all went well. What amazing things our bodies are!
Have a great evening!
