Hey everyone!!! I got a different
account!
Well I had to take my baby to get her
extra digits removed today! It was the
worst thing I have ever had to go through!
I had to sit and hold her while they done
it . She screamed so loud when they had
to numb her foot and hand! Of course I
cried! I turned my head to were I couldnt
see them take them off. Now she has been
cranky today. Her poor hand and feet are
super sore. She cried when I had to
change her bandaide and yes I cried worse
than her lol. I cant stand to see my poor
baby cry. It hurts me to know shes in
pain. I hope they hurry up and heal soon
cuz shes all time chewying on her hands.
It has really tired me out today.
Amber

What did they do? Just cut them off and
stitch up the openings?
I hope she heals quickly!

She is chewing on her hands already?
Amelia didnt' start chewing on hers until
she was 8 weeks old....Wow. Have you
tried to put the mitts on her so that she
can't get them wet. Or at least on the
one? I never put them on my child
because in the womb that was all they knew
and I didnt' want to take that away from
her, but one hand wouldnt' be that
bad.....Maybe that will help.

They cut them off but didnt stitch them
up! They put some medicine on it to stop
the bleeding. Its just a little spot on
the side of her hand and foot. They told
me to keep them uncovered so they will
scab up but she hits them and sceams in
pain. So I have a bandaide on them with
neosporan (sp?) and then put a sock over
them. Her mits are too big lol they fall
off.
Yea shes already chewing on her hands.
She already has control over her head
too!! Its so sad cuz shes growing too
fast but she seems tp be
doing better today. Not as fussy and shes
actually able to eat. Lastnight she
wouldnt eat that much. I sat and balled
my eyes out cuz there was nothing that I
nor a doc could really do. She just kept
hitting her hand on herself and stretching
her foot out. my poor baby

Have you thought about wrapping her up so
that she can't flail like that? I think
that would help. I think that infants
that young should be wrapped up anyway.
So maybe that will help her not bump her
hand and little foot. I think that you
need to let them air out so that they can
scab. I think that is best for her.

i try to keep her tightly wrapped but she
busts out of it. I called the surgeon
today and he said its fine to put the neo
and bandaide on it as long as I let it air
out for atleast 2 hours a day.
