Hi friends,
Sadie is having her 2nd surgery on her arm this Thursday (3/12/09). We will be heading to Atlanta tomorrow (Wed) evening and will be back Friday. She will have the fixator off her arm (YEAH! She keeps saying "Bye bye bar!") and a procedure called "radialization" that will finish straightening her hand (it involves some technical stuff including some tendon transfers to balance out her hand and that will hopefully prevent it from turning back inwards again). She will come out of surgery with a splint that she will keep for about 10 days until our post-op visit and at that time she will have a cast. I'm not sure yet how long she will have the cast..it kind of depends what all her surgeon has to do once he gets in there. Most likely she will only have it 2-4 weeks.
Please pray for my little Sadie's surgery Thursday morning and her recovery in the days that follow. You can also say a prayer for Hannah, who will be staying with some good friends for a couple of nights...she's come SO far, but it still makes her a bit nervous to spend the night somewhere other than home, especially when she's separated from not just me, but Sadie too.

OH DeEtte I'm so glad I checked in today...I bet the surgery is over, but I will be praying for her recovery!!!!! And Hannah!
Let us know how it went! I'll be praying!
How is the little girl doing from your previous post?
Sadie did well. She's sleeping right now. She is having some pain as her medicine wears off, but overall doing well so far. He said it looked good but she'd be "pretty sore, maybe very sore" for a few days. I of course can't judge how her hands looks because it's all wrapped up in a splint right now. We're still in Atlanta and will be home tomorrow.
Sherri - Mary is still having a very rough time. Since I posted, she's had two more surgeries...can't seem to catch a break. She had a lot of problems with her shunt when she was little, but then went about 4-5 years with no problems. Now, she's had 6 surgeries in less than 6 weeks! Thanks for praying for her.
