Surgery Scheduled

Addie's surgery has been scheduled for next Tuesday February 4th at 8:00 A.M. In this surgery they will loosen both of her achilles' tendons. This is done by continually poking the tendons with a type of syringe. It allows them to loosen them without having to cut her open. The doctor is also going to apply this same method on the muscle in her right groin area hoping that by loosening that muscle he will be able to put her hip into place. The surgery should only take 30-45 minutes and it is outpatient.  As soon as she wakes up and eats we will be able to bring her home. If the hip does go into place she will be casted from her belly button down to her toes. This will be for 2 weeks, then they will take the cast off and she will be given a pair of braced shoes for her feet. She will then be casted from her belly button to above her knees for 8 more weeks. It is going to be a process, but if all goes well and her hip goes into place this should be the only surgery necessary! If her hip doesn't go in with the looser muscle she will need an invasive surgery between 12-15 months old. We are praying for  successful surgery! We are leaning on our rock! Psalm 71:3 "Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress."
