Feet!!

Friday was Addie's follow-up appointment about her feet. He checked out her feet and was pleased with how they are coming along. Addie now only has to wear her braces at night!!! This will continue most likely until she is 2. She has been enjoying her little bare feet the last couple of days. While there I also talked to Dr. Akeson about his plans for her hip. At this point we are still waiting for the hip bone to calcify which typically happens between 12-15 months. He will then do an invasive surgery to put it into place. After the surgery Addie will be casted from her belly button to her ankles for 6 or 10 weeks and afterwards may have a brace for a month. We are going to Shriners in St. Louis on June 20th to see the orthopedic doctor that we were referred to after her last appointment in St. Louis for her arm. We see the neurologist here on Tuesday for her arm. This may lead to some additional testing to determine if there is any nerve damage or not in her left arm. I will also be talking to him about her lack of movement on her right knee. We have started physical and occupational therapy every other week, so each Wednesday we do one or the other. We are continuing to pray for her complete healing, and rejoicing each step of the way! God is working on her. We have seen more movement with her arm! We have seen extreme healing and changes on her feet! We have seen more motion on her right knee where there had been none! God is working it is easy to overlook the small answers, but when you sit down and review it is evident how God has been answering us! Philippians 4:4 " Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!"
