What is Great... Day 5

Wow I'm already on day 5 of my Greatness Search.  I have a list of things that are great about today and I'll get to those but first I wanted to share that S will be having thumb surgery again in a few months. We did find that out for sure today. I sort of stopped blogging at the end of June and even left one blog hanging (Organization 101 I did write it but haven't quite finished with it and I'll post it at some point). Shortly after that we noticed a lump on S's thumb when checking out a splinter. So we took her to the Dr. and he noticed that she couldn't straighten her thumb all the way. So off to a specialist we went. Turned out that her thumb was a congenital (or pediatric) Trigger Thumb. She was most likely born that way and over time the triggering had gotten so bad that her tendon couldn't go through the tendon sheath anymore and it locked her thumb. So in a matter of a week we went from diagnosis to my little baby (ok yes she is 4 but I'm her mom and she will always be my baby) having surgery under general anaesthesia.

Well all came out fine with her surgery and a week or so latter she was showing offer fixed thumb to a near total stranger and said "Look my other thumb triggers too." I was so surprised and was like "What?" she never told me that. But it is true so when we went back to the Dr for her post op check up he looked at that new trigger thumb. Yup another one. So we have given it another 6-8 weeks and it is still triggering all the time. So he said we could set up the surgery now or wait for a bit. We are going to wait a bit since S just started preschool last week.

So that being said it didn't take away from my day since I knew the answer the Dr gave me was what I expected all along but it was just something to share.

Now what is great about today....
