So, several days ago, Kathryn dropped the ipad on her toe. Of course, it caused a bruise under her nail, but over the last few days, it started looking awful!! We saw Dr Fagan on her 5th birthday (she LOVES him, so she was super happy about that!) and he suggested a surgical removal of the nail, repair of the nailbed laceration, and a re-application of the nail sutured in place. SOOOOOO, the day after her birthday, that's what we did! We went to the Surgery Center and everyone was so sweet to her! Mr. Drew (another one of Kat's favorite people) and Mrs. Lauren (Maggie-moo's mama) put her to sleep, and all of my recovery peeps took great care of her. She acted kind of wild and crazy in recovery so they let mama come back and take her home in her crazy mood. Thankfully, once we got home, she was much better and came back to her the current world and she did great. The biggest issue is going to be keeping this thing clean and dry for the next 2 weeks!! :) It's not quite the birthday we anticipated, but we are so thankful for everyone that made it ok!
Pre-surgery toe!!
She and Marshall are ready for surgery!!
Post surgery--she was not a happy camper. She cried and cried, but thankfully, the movie kept her entertained!
Here is the toe after surgery...we were supposed to keep the dressing on for 10 days and that DID NOT happen!! We couldn't keep it on at all! The toenail is sutured on!
Post surgery naps are always great!!
