"Daddy's Broke"

Friday morning, Mommy and Daddy woke up bright and early to go to Louisville for Daddy's hand surgery.  He had the left hand operated on a couple of months ago and now it was time to fix the right hand.  The surgery is for carpal tunnel release.

We arrived at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning!  Luckily, Papaw Dean volunteered to keep Waverly so she didn't have to wake up as early as we did.  The nurses immediately set up their IV's and Daddy was prepped for surgery in no time!  The doctor's came in to see if we had any questions and then it was time to roll!

Daddy was back to the recovery room in no time!  The surgery took about an hour.  The doctor had to work a little harder on this hand, but there were no complications and the surgery went great!

The after picture...

We waited for just a bit in recovery and then it was homeward bound for us!  We napped all day long so Daddy could rest.  We are happy to report that his recovery has been good!

Waverly was so happy to see us that afternoon!  We told her all about Daddy's boo-boo.  Now she tells us repeatedly, "Daddy's broke!" and points to his casted arm! 

She likes to play with the pillow that we took home to prop up Daddy's arm.  She thinks its a hoot to look through it and make funny faces at us!

Daddy is doing great so far!  He'll have his hand and wrist bandaged for a few weeks and then he'll see the doctor for a check up.  We are glad that both surgery's are behind us and we are so thankful that Daddy's hands are feeling better already!
