Catherine and Amelia holding Bryn. Amelia loves babies
Makenna and AmeliaToday we had the awesome opportunity of meeting Catherine, Brad and Amelia Thompson. They are from Texas and I met them online. I found Catherine's blog a few months ago. Her daughter was born with radial dysplasia and had the pollicization surgery that Bryn is probably going to have. (The surgery where the dr. moves the index down into the thumb position.) We haven't decided 100% yet if we are going to do it, but we are about 90% sure we are. Catherine and her husband are originally from Oklahoma and came back up to visit family. We were able to meet them for lunch and see their daughters hand in person. It was so awesome to see her move her thumb and see how she used it. She is 22 months old. She had the surgery done when she was 16 months old. She has scaring, but that is normal with any surgery. You have to give her hand a double take to even notice she only has 3 fingers and a thumb. It was so awesome. It made me feel really good about wanting to do the surgery. Their family is so sweet and so helpful with all of our quesitons. Amelia is such a sweetheart! We hope that we can get together again.

Jen, that's so great that you got to meet them, and see the results of the surgery. Looks good.
It helps so much to meet someone else who has been through what you are going through. To be able to see how they have done things I'm sure will help you and Tyler with your decisions.
Amelia looks so funny in that picture. You will have to read my post too about yesterday, especially the last sentence :)
