Lily's Thumb Surgery

I was dreading another surgery. Who wants to see their baby go through so much? At least this one was out patient and we could take her home the same day. For those who don't know Lily was born with a "floppy" thumb. We found it when Lily was a day old, but she needed to be a year before surgery.

 Waiting in the pre-op room.
 Love her blue eyes!!
 The surgeon, Peter Campbell, initialed Lily's arm, so they knew they were working on the correct hand. This picture also shows how her thumb turns backwards. The surgeon will go in and brace the thumb with a rod.
 After surgery Lily needed some mommy time while she was waking up from the anesthesia. The surgery went well and I was grateful to have Lily in my arms again.

 
Looks like this is how Lily will be wearing her clothes for the next 4 weeks.
