Olivia playing in the waiting room.
She still loves her binky.
Spinning on the doctor's chair
Just woke up.
Waiting to be discharged.
Olivia had surgery on both of her thumbs on Tuesday. She was first on the list but it took awhile to get her sedated. The actually surgery was short and she woke up very quickly and she didn't even cry. The nurse warned us that 99% of children wake up from anesthesia crying and such. But Olivia was a real trooper. The nurse also said she should be groggy most of the day and would be back to herself by that evening.
Olivia did ask a few times for me to take the bandage off but she acclimated to not having thumbs fairly quickly. I have been giving her children's motrin for the pain three times a day but that is about it. She hasn't complained about pain. The surgery didn't slow her down. After eating some breakfast and watching a movie she was up and jumping on the bed and climbing stuff. She took a long nap and that gave her a ton of energy as you can see from the video. She is still daring as ever.

Oh I hope Olivia recovers quickly. Those bandages look terrible. What is "trigger thumb"?
Oh, sweet girl! I'm glad things went well with the surgery. I absolutely HATE having my children in the hospital, but I'm always so thankful for medical technology. I hope things continue well!
Yea, what is trigger thumb exactly? Glad to hear she is doing good and back to her old self!
