Surgery is over!!!!

Claire's surgery went well today. She was a model patient for the nurses and doctors. She cooperated with the nurses really well, which was great because it allowed them to not have to give her medicines to sedate her before putting her asleep. When she came out of the anesthesia she cried for a brief second (mostly moaned and groaned). When we came into the recovery room to see her she was taking a bottle of fluids and sitting happily. She has remained that way ever since. She was quite drowsy at the hospital but, since we come home, has perked up quite a bit. Thanks for the prayers. (Her finger is not completely straight yet. We have to do some exercises with it for the next two weeks. If it still isn't straightening on its own at the point we will have to put a brace on her finger, temporarily.)



Pre-surgery. (One grandma who reluctantly gave her grandbaby over to the nurse for surgery.)



Post surgery. (One relieved mommy, and one kind of cranky but still drowsy baby.)

Life back at home. (Samuel even shares his new hat with Claire to chew on.)
