Annie's First surgery

Annie had what they call trigger finger. It is a very common thing in a lot of children but it is usually in the thumb. She had it on her left middle finger. We decided to get it taken care of while she was young and not wait for it to get worse. She was a champ and did so good. Tyler took her cause they had to be there at 6 am and we didn't want to wake all the kids. Plus, lets just admit that I am a wimp when it comes to things like that and probably would have passed out at some point.

They put her completely under anesthesia so all she remembers is playing games with dad and then them having her blow into a balloon! When she woke up she was a little out of it and was mad that she had a cast on her! Once she fully woke up she was the super champ again and we got to go home quickly after.

Her favorite part was that her bear "Lizzy" got a cast too and was able to stay with her the whole time. The Hospital was so good to her. They gave her polly pockets at the end for being so brave! She was thrilled. I think her fear of doctors might be over!

So I have never heard of this before, but what a trooper! Her little cast is way cute! How nice her bear has one too!
