I know she will be glad to be able to move around and get into everything again. I kind of have mixed feelings about taking them off. Once they are off, I will have to do a saline dressing on her hands and feet three times a day to make sure the skin doesn't fuse again. Yippee! I am a little nervous that I will mess it up.
Until then, Francesca has been getting quite creative in keeping herself amused. Just stick a toy in her mouth, especially one that vibrates, and she is amused for quite a while.
Having casts has not slowed her down in communicating at all. Here she is signing "more" (she wants more food of course!)
Toss tissues on her head and she is happy. She has the sweetest spirit. I wanna be like her when I grow up.
Today she figured out how to play this piano with her chin.
I can't wait to see what her hands are going to look like now. Here is a picture pre-surgery. I can't wait to be able to dress her in clothes again! (she always closes her eyes when she sees me coming with my camera)
Three more days! We are excited!!!
