When Molly was born we noticed a simple syndactyly which is basically webbed fingers that only involve the skin. It looks like you could just snip it with some scissors but unfortunately you have to graft some skin from inside your wrist to provide room as the hand grows. Fortunately, though, we live in Dallas with Scottish Rite down the road with some of the best hand surgeons around.
I wanted to take some final pictures the night before surgery so I would always remember it. It's her left hand between her middle and ring finger so we had to fix it for her wedding ring one day, right? :)
Scottish Rite pre op is so different than Children's (much less busy!) Molly was the only patient for some of it!
Can't believe this was her second surgery in under a month! For those who don't know she had an EGD/Colonoscopy the end of August for some stomach problems she's been having. Sweet thing.
being silly after the little amout of versed that actually went in her mouth
post op (the surgery lasted around 1 1/2 hours)
we got her a special little puppy in the gift shop
never expected the cast to be SO HUGE! Apparently they have found that the whole hand covered prevents little ones from stuffing cheerios and such into the cast and having it all the way up the arm prevents it from sliding off.
sweet Jenny, Bebe and PawPaw came to watch EK and support Molls.
She has been a little rockstar with the cast. I love this picture b/c she was telling me it was "heavy". She has to wear it for 3 weeks. The hardest part is keeping her out of water and getting shirts to fit over it. Otherwise she is really doing awesome.
loved her little preppy look this morning for church with the sweater buttoned over the cast. Didn't know what else to do.
sweet & precious Molls....so proud of you.
