Ladies and Gentlemen we have fingers!!!

Today we went to Shriners Hospital for Braylee's post surgery check-up and she got her casts off!!!  When we pulled the splint off and looked down at her thumb we realized her pin was no longer in her thumb!  It ended up pulling out of her thumb as we took her splint off, which was good because it was less stuff that the Doctor had to put her through.  Her other pin just pulled right out, she didn't even really feel it which was great.  Her hands look SOOOO good and she has FINGERS!!!  We are so very excited about this.  They put her thumbs in a removable splint to keep them straight for the next month while they continue to heal.  She doesn't seem to mind them, it has to be way better than those casts!  . We were so surprised that she automatically started wiggling her new finger side to side, separating it from the rest.  She hasn't ever been able to do that so that was really great to see.  She is just so excited to be out of those casts! We talked to her Doctor about a timeline if they ended up separating another set and she said if that happens we won't do it for 9-12 months.  Below are some pictures of her fingers before and after :)  She still has some dead skin that needs to be pulled off but that will happen over time. Please ignore her ridiculously long fingernails that haven't been trimmed yet from her month in the cast :).
