McCartney's Surgery 4/18/12

McCartney had surgery and Primary Childrens Hospital April 18th, 2012. Dr. Hutchinson is the hand specialist who performed the surgery. It was a very emotional day for us.
We loved everything about our little girl from the moment we saw her. We even loved her extra little thumb and as weird as it sounds we will miss it.



In the pre-surgery room getting our gown and tags on.

Waiting to meet with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist.






After the surgery McCartney was very groggy. I got to go back and feed her while she woke up from the anesthesia and she was not a happy camper! When I arrived she was already waking up and there were 5 nurses trying to calm her down with bottles and pacifiers. I guess she just needed her mommy:)






Our new pink and purple cast!



Leaving the hospital!
It took about 24 hours for the anesthesia and all the pain medication to wear off. Then we were dependent on a steady stream of Tylenol and Motrin. After a couple of days though the pain died down and McCartney was back to her normal happy self:)
