Jack's Trigger Thumb

About 6 months ago we noticed Jack's thumb was bent funny, also called a trigger thumb. I would of done nothing about it (cause that's just how I was raised). But, since we have awesome insurance and three doctors who said it needed surgery, we decided to have it fixed. I was nervous because Jack usually has a cough (due to his asthma) and I was worried about his airway through the whole surgery. It doesn't help that I'm married to an anesthetist who was also worried.  But, of course everything went well and the recovery was perfect!!

   On the way...

If you look close, you can see his cool blue "cast". 


Thumbs up for thumb surgery! 
I don't have an after picture yet, but now it looks normal.
And, he can pinch his sister more effectively now!
