our little patient


Bella seems to be doing Ok with her thumb. The pain comes and goes, and seems to be at it's worst when she wakes up. Her first words out of her mouth this morning were "thumb hurts". Poor girl. The medicine seems to keep her pretty comfortable for the most part during the day though. At first she was pretty jazzed about the idea of being able to lay around and not have to do anything, but now she's starting to get a bit stir crazy and is wanting to get back to normal play. Thankfully Isaac understands what "big owie" means and he has been very nice and gentle with her the past couple days. Last night Elijah spilled all over her hand, and I had to re-bandage it. It was not a pretty sight! It was still very very swollen, the the spot of the injury had a big lump and was purple and green. She cringed during the first couple wrap arounds, but was very brave and didn't cry. She says it hurts though if anything touches her thumb. Hopefully she'll heal up quickly and be back to her regular activities (and chores!) soon.
