8 Casts put on and off = tears
countless appointments with docs = annoying
Lily walking down each hallway in anticipation for de-casting & casting = sniffles
Doctor $bills = Thank God for insurance!
gas getting there to and fro = $$
happy go lucky lil' Lily bug = happy & grateful momma
growing a perfect finger = priceless!
"The Bug" is healing beautifully! Below are pics of her finger taken 10 days ago and re-casted for the last time! Thank God! I will have final pics very soon! We are on week 8 of casts!
If you can't stomach things like this...then don't scroll down! But I think it looks great and God has answered our prayers~! We are so grateful! Thank you all for your prayers!!!!
Can you believe she has an entire nail bed & nail growing! There is no scar line because she grew the finger! The white and black at the end is her "old flesh". The surgeon cut off most of the black.
This is the underneath. It is taking a little longer.
Compare these to the first pics I showed = AMAZING!
(below is a first pic I showed which was still at least 4 weeks after accident...Imagine what it looked like the day after accident. I saw it for first time 2 weeks after accident and did not have the frame of mind to take a picture!) Remember, the sever took place above the cuticle line. So all of her finger from cuticle down was severed.
I will have new pictures later this week. And we should have NO more cast! Yeah!
Lily is now trying out hearing aides. She was diagnosed with mild hearing loss but each time we go in for final testing...it comes up rather inconclusive. She is bored with their tests! And basically "tunes" them out. We haven't had her long enough to start "tuning" people out already! My word!!! I'm not convinced yet she needs the aides but they want to see if there is a difference with her in the next month. So here is our little Lily-bug with her new ears.
Obviously Lily gets around just fine with one arm & hand.
I'm wondering with new ears and with her left arm and hand being free in a few days... what else will this girl do? She scares me ;0 !!!!!
Baths have been in the sink the last several weeks since her cast could not get wet.
favorite activity = swings
no problem drinking the milk from her Cheerios bowl this morning!
Have you seen any MORE pink than this on a toddler?
Who needs toys when you have kleenex boxes to stack?
Big brothers come in handy to make the stack taller!
And "whack!" they all come down ;) ha!
Until next time... "cross your fingers." Ha!~
