Stage 2 Complete!

We are home already from Ellie's stage 2 procedure. She now has 5 seperate fingers on her left hand! We haven't seen them, because now they are wrapped up in a bright pink cast. She was out of surgery about 3pm, and we got home shortly after 5 and she has been sleeping ever since. She is one VERY tired girl! But thank God we're done. We go back in 4 weeks to see the surgeon and get the cast removed. The surgeon said the skin grafts look really good from the 1st time around. They removed the pin from her thumb, which had actually moved a bit, so they opened the thumb again and stitched it back up.

Whew, what a relief!
