Fixator Removal Over!!

Annie did GREAT today!!  This is surgery number 7 for her, but the first time she didn't have to stay inpatient.  What a difference.  And best of all?  She does not seem to be in any pain (knock on wood).  She was super, super grumpy for a few hours post-op, but has been pretty delightful all afternoon.  PRAISE!!!

Hoping for a restful night for her and more of the same tomorrow.

For those that have asked....here is a picture blitz......even though I cannot get her to smile for the camera, much less look at it these days!  We decided to stay ocean front for her final (for awhile) surgery.  Great idea!

Annie's first trip to the beach....she seemed to love it!


Mommy and Annie


All this beach going has tuckered me out!


6 am this morning waiting for surgery...."I want a snack" she said and furrowed her brow


WOW.....straight arm (In the process of having her splint made)


Left arm pin sites....they look pretty good


First words she managed to say upon waking up?  Where's Gee Gee?  Ask and she shall receive!


It's been a long day....let's go back to the hotel and put pj's on!

  5. Hi Jeanine!
    I came across your blog as I have been looking for pollicization pictures and surgeons etc. My daughter has Holt Oram as well. She will be needing pollicization surgery for both hands. She is almost 6 months and I was hoping I could get some advise from someone who has been there done that. Annie and you have been through such an incredible journey!! I am very inspired. As a mother, I know how hard it is to see your baby have to go through all of this and I will be there pretty soon. Please let me know what surgeon you used for this and if you would recommend him/her or have any other thoughts regarding the pollicization surgery. I would be forever grateful!! So glad Annie is doing so well!! Please email me at sommerag01@hotmail.com My name is Sommer Key and I am here in Houston, TX
