Emily is recovering very well.


We had quite the day on Friday. It started at 8:25 am when I slammed her poor little hand in the car door. I was dropping the kids off at school......

The clinic here in town sent us on to Fargo saying her fingers were broke and we needed to see a hand specialist. So we sat in the ER from 11 am to about 5:00pm. when they took her in for surgery. Her surgery lasted two hours. And she was in recovery for another hour before they sent her to her own room upstairs in the hospital. Poor little baby! She's been such a good trooper about this.
Any suggestion on how to get those sticky things off of her chest?
Emily goes in tomorrow for her post op check up.....and they hope that she will get the pins ( rods ?) our by January 12. Luckily the bones didn't puncture thru the skin so the healing should go much faster and better than if it had been the worst....
She has mom making chocolate malts for breakfast and dad running for popscicles in the middle of blizzard weather.....no it wasn't her tonsils that were affected.....we just wanted to make sure she was happy. :)
They gave us a prescription for pain meds on Friday and today (Monday) is the first day she has said her hand hurt.
She went to school today..... she missed all her little friends, and the way it looked when I dropped her off, they missed her too.

Oh bless her heart...I read your story then saw the date so I guess she is feeling much better now. I bet that hurt. I had my finger almost cut off when I was very small and they sewed it right back on...yikes! It works fine now,,ha!
