Miss B Has Surgery....Again

 We were up BRIGHT and early on Tuesday morning after meeting with her ortho Dr on Monday. At the hospital for 5:45AM... yikes! But... better to be on the early side when you are fasting...

We tried to recreate some pictures from 2016.... Only this time it was Bluey...

vs. Daniel Tiger :)

and once you get past 10 years old... it's an IV... :( again.....this girl was such a champ both Friday and this day... she didn't even flinch and the RN's that put them in did SUCH a great job... not even barely a MARK from either IV. 

It took longer than the last time :( but the Dr. was really trying to get it nice and straight because we are ALL trying to avoid having to put hardware in to hold it stable. You can sort of tell in this picture that the cast is not uniform. He def. wrapped it more in the place of the breaks in hopes that it does.not.move.

She was ROUGH coming out of the anesthesia... she was pawing at her eyes and when I tried to rub her leg and let her know we were there she tried to haul off and SMACK me! :) We did giggle about it and she was ADAMANT that she did NOT WANT TO BE TOUCHED... Uh... my snuggle bunny did not want to be touched? So once the popsicle and smiles came out I felt safe enough to get close (bahahaha) and we did a few more reenactments
  





By about 9:30ish we were OUT... AND SO HAPPY! Blue popsicle teeth, orange cast and all!
We got her home, fed her, gave her some advil and she told me she wasn't tired but.... I had her snuggle in her bed and over 2 and 1/2 hours later she woke up. Hungry and in NO PAIN hooray!!!

Her goal the whole day was to make it to their track meet to support her team. She did it :) And was SO HAPPY to see everyone!


Especially her buddy!!!


Fun to have a fan club! :)

Minnie asked to be the first one to sign the cast.. so as soon as she was done all her events the "ceremonial cast signing" happened... Miss B's term :) hahahaha

It was a LONG and emotional day but to hear my baby say she is not in pain was the BEST thing I could have heard... now we PRAY for the XRAY Thursday and that things are exactly as they should be...
