Thank-You all sooo much...Briyonna did wonderfull! surgery went by fast and harmless.. not 1 tear has came to her eye before or after surgery...She was soo big and so happy to have gotten her hot pink cast..Funny story: when she first woke up in recovery and opened her eyes i said "briy look at your cast". so she looks at her right arm then the left and again the right , and with a upset/confused look she says "Oh no mom!, they gave me all the casts" (because the left arm was the cast and the right was all wrapped up so she couldnt get at the IV) too cute.......for a few hours she thought the cast was stuck to the bed when she awakened in an upright position on it..But all in all she did wonderfull! Again I love Dr. waters and Boston childrens hopsitals!!
The only thing that went wrong was in surgery they made the cast way to big so she couldnt sit up without alot of pain on her legs and they also mad it up way to fsr so it covered her neck and chin -- but they sent someone in the next morning to fix it (i though i was gonna die when he pulled out that huge saw , and the way he was pressing so hard into the cast.( i didnt know it cant cut skin)

Thank you guys all so much!!!

Briyonna did wonderfull, not 1 tear came from her eye before or after surgery!! she was soo brave and she loves her hot pink cast..
cute story: When she was first awakening in the recovery room she opened her eyes, i said "Briy look at your cast" so she looks at her left arm (with the cast, looks at her right arm ( all wrapped up in colored bandages to protect the iv) and looks back at her left , then looks at me with the madest/confused face and says "Oh No mom! they gave me all the casts!!"
too cute, and for a while she thought while she was recovering with er bed in the upright positon , that her arm was "stuck to the wall"
All in all i had a wonderfull experience , except for during surgery they made the cast way to big.. So she couldnt sit up and it also went up way to high almost like a turtle shell with her neck and chin tucked in - but they sent the cast man in to fix it the next morning.. ( talk about being soo scared i was almost in tears, i didnt know it cant cut skin)

Ill keep you all updated

Thank you all soo much!!


The surgery went wonderfull, not 1 tear from briyonna before or after surgery..She was so brave, im very proud of her! The only thing that went wrong was during surgery they made the cast WAY to big so she couldnt sit up (too long) and she looked like a turtle with her head halfway in the shell (her chin) but they fixed it the next day,(talk about being soo scared i thought i was gonna cry! ( i didnt know it cant cut skin) but all in all she did perfect, i love Dr, waters and the boston children hopsital!!!!!

funny story: when she woke up in recovery she opened her eyes, so i said " Briy look at your pretty pink cast" so she looked at her left arm ( with cast) , looked at her right arm (wrapped up in colored bandage to keep iv safe) l looked back at her left then looked at me witht the most upset/confused look and said " OH NO!! Mom they made all the casts!" ---lol---
for a while she thought her arm was stuck to the wall when sitting in the bed in an upright position!!

Thank you all, ill keep u updated

Hi Brandy:
I am so glad that Briyonna did well before and after surgery! I am sure that you feel wonderful now that it is over! I hope she has a fast recovery and continues to do well. I will talk to you again soon.
