You Don’t Need 10

“She only has one hand,” my husband said to me. I had just awoken from recovery, so I was a little foggy. “What?”

“She’s missing her right hand; he said.

I looked at him and said, “Are you kidding? That’s not funny.”

“I’m not kidding, honey. There’s a doctor waiting outside to talk to us?’

I immediately broke down. How, as a mother, did I not know? I just saw her!

I thought to myself. I guess they only let me see her for a few seconds and I didn’t even get to touch her. And now that I thought about it, she was wrapped in a blanket and only one little hand was sticking out, and then she and Russell were gone…

How did this happen? Why did this happen?

How does a baby not have to fingers and to toes?

“Where is she? I need her now!”
