On The Mend!


Yep, that's AB in a pillowcase...  Just what I'd expect from her on any given day, maybe not what I'd expect the day after thumb surgery.  :-)  She's doing great!  We kept her home from school today, well, because, well... I'm not really sure.  I guess so she wouldn't over do it.  We are going to get out and about this morning because I think we're both a little stir crazy and the sun is shining so, why not?  


We went out and stopped by the library and then met Yaya and Maci for a girls lunch!  I am amazed with Annabelle's boundless energy!!!  Thus when Children's Hospital called to see how our little patient was doing I couldn't resist asking, "So what did you slip in this child's IV because three hours post surgery and still she's been bouncing off the walls!"  Laughing the nurse told me that many parents express then very same thing and that Hyperactivity can be an affect of the anesthesia!  Who knew?!  At lunch Maci gave AB a get well present from she, Yaya and Silly Grandpa.  It was full of outside fun!!  There was only one down side of the entire day.  When the waitress brought out the coloring page and crayons AB was excited to color until she found out that she wasn't able to hold a crayon in her right hand.  It was so sad.  She cried and cried.  Thankfully in her case, Monday will be here soon and she'll be back to business as usual.  

                                                                          
We have our follow up appointment with Dr. Bickel on May 9th to make sure all is well.  Annabelle will be able to take her soft bandage off on Monday and she's already looking forward to that: "Mommy I have had this on for two days.  Yesterday and today.  After today I will only have three more days and THEN I CAN TAKE THIS OFF!"  I better hop off, because wild thing needs some focus, she's full of it!!!
