Surgery Update

Bekah came through her surgery this afternoon with flying colors.   The nurse told us before hand that she would most likely be given a little gas to make her sleepy before the IV was inserted, but that turned out not to be the case.   She was already worried enough about not waking up, and then the IV really upped her stress level.

Her entire right hand is wrapped in a HUGE brace/bandage that is so large the sleeve of the hospital gown had to be cut to get it off.   Now that she is home, she is wearing one of daddy's t-shirts and complaining frequently that the brace/bandage is too heavy, and it itches, and she wants it off NOW!!!

We see the doctor for a follow up on Tuesday afternoon, and if it looks good he will probably cast it, which should result at least a slight size and weight reduction.  Then we wait for it to heal for a couple of weeks and then she will have to endure another surgery.
