Riding The Waves: She is A O.K.

She is A O.K.

So today Emma had her heal cord procedure and it went pretty smooth. Luckily Nick was able to leave work for a little bit which helped allot! My poor little's is really trying to get around with the huge and very heavy cast on her :( But thank goodness she is extremely determined and is figuring it out. Let's hope this time we wont have any problems with the cast slipping.

She will be in the cast for the next two weeks, I was a little bumbed it will still be on for Halloween but I think we can make it work. After the cast comes off we will be getting new AFO's for her.

Here's are most recent pictures we went to the Wild west Festival this weekend which most of the pictures are from

Yay for having a cast for only 2 weeks! Boo for having it on Halloween. Are you guys going to come to the SB Walk N Roll this year on 10/29? I can text you the info if you want!

Little history..

We found out Emma has Spina bifida at our first ultra sound and we where sent to see a specialist. Our experince with this doctor was aweful, she gave us a grim outlook saying our daughter will more then likely never walk and will be mentally handicaped and should seriously consider our options of whether or not we want to continue with the pregnancy. After that day it became my mission to give her the best life I could possibly give her. That started with deciding to become a part of a study/trial called the MOM's Study (www.spinabifidamoms.com) we where selected for postnatal surgery. She was born February 11 and a week later had her shunt placed in. She has done so well, she is able to move both legs and has movement in right foot. We are truelly blessed and are looking forward to watching her grow up.
