Alison went in to see the pediatrician this morning. We recently noticed that she could not fully extend her left thumb. Being horrified at the possibility that she broke it or something and we didn't even notice, we felt the need to get it looked at. The good news? Her thumb does not appear to have been injured. The bad news? It looks like the tendon in her thumb is being obstructed. In other words, she's got "trigger" thumb. And the treatment for it is surgery to release the tendon. The ped wants to see her again in a few weeks to see if it gets any better on it's own. If it doesn't, then he wants us to have her orthopedic surgeon look at it when we see him in April. Can you believe that of all the things she could need to have surgery for she's going to need it for something totally unrelated to Spina Bifida?
