PRAYING this is the last step...

So Miss Sydney gets her splint off today. I'm praying they say that's it - she doesn't have to wear anything else. But I'm also nervous. She's really nervous about not having anything on it anymore. She realizes that she'll have to bend it again and that scares her. She said this morning "What happens if we go outside to play and someone bumps into it?" So she's worried.

I'm just fearful that she's not going to regain full mobility in that finger - or at least that first knuckle. I really hope she'll be able to bend it and she won't even remember. I hope that it doesn't look any different and that as she grows, it will continue to grow normally.

Ok, yes, I tend to worry about the worst things, but that's just me. So think good thoughts for her that it's all healed and she can move on.

I know in the grand scheme of things this is very small and I realize that. But to her, it's a scary thing.

(PS ~ For those of you who were reading on Sunday - WOOOOHOOO GIANTS!!!! It was not a well earned win or even a good win - but a win is a win is a win and I'll take it. Heather, tell Jake he can't blackball me just b/c of my taste in football teams!!!! ;) I won't have it!!! LOL!!!)

Edited to add: Sydney and Rex just called me on the way home from the doctor. The doctor said it looks perfectly healed and she doesn't need anything else. He bent the finger this morning while she was there (ugh, that goes right through me thinking about that) and Rex said it hurt her but she didn't cry. Now we are to bend it twice a day and continue to do that and he will see her again in 4 weeks. I think I'm going to leave that bending part to Rex!!! But it looks like thankfully, she is on the mend!!! YAY!!!!
