Adaline's Surgery

Well, the day is here. We had to be at the hospital for 5:30am. The anesthesia doc had lost his mind. Soooo we were here at 5:30 to SIT for four hours. I'm done complaining about that.
We watched Dora, Barbie, Animal Planet, Cool Runnings, played angry birds, cried and fussed, took Versed...and then wailed because mama would NOT allow her to stand up drunk, falling over. They came for her just before 10. They started the surgery at 1020ish. We WAITED impatiently. The surgery went great. The Doc placed a pin into her Ulna that runs all the way into her second metacarpal. This straightens out the wrist. The wrist will grow and mold over the Ulna. The surgery is called Centralization if you want a true medical description and graphic pics. This will hopefully stabilize the wrist. She is in a soft cast/splint now. It's 3pm and she is asleep in my lap. We are ready to see her awake, drinking and urinating so we can take her HOME!!! Missing our other babies. Thank you soooo much for praying. BTW she never put the gown back on. Still naked wrapped in a blanket. This girl is a hoot!!! To surgery and back with no hospital gown. Oh well, will work on modesty later.
