Post-surgery update on Bekah

The skin graft on Bekah's finger seems to be working well and the doctor is pleased with the way she is healing.   He noted the shape her bandages were in after just a few days and decided that it would be safest to put her hand in a cast, a decision I whole heartedly agreed with.   She goes back for another check on the 11th of June and if she has healed enough she will be scheduled for a bit of therapy at that time.

Bekah was a little freaked out before the appointment and fussed a bit when they cut off the bandages, but before long her usual curiosity kicked in and she just had to look.   She was also happy that she got to pick out the color for her cast.  She has had very little pain after this surgery and is getting along fine with just an occasional dose of ibuprofen.

The bear in the above picture was given to her by the surgery staff just before her last surgery and it has been her constant companion every since.  They even let her take it into surgery with her and it came out with a little hair net and face mask on.
