taking a stand...

I wanted to give another quick update this evening.

Here are Sadie's surgery sites right after surgery.

This is her today...
with the help of dad, Sadie was able to put some weight on her left leg today for about 10 seconds. It does cause her a bit of pain in her knee, but we were proud she tried (her own idea). She did it one other time later in the night to see the snow (yes, I said snow!).

Today was a good day... pain is getting better every day and she even took less pain medication today and I talked to the ortho nurse who gave us suggestions on how to slowly wean her off medications, but she also advised there is no rush and that it is perfectly acceptable for her to need some pain medication for a few weeks.

Sadie was able to sit and do some crafts today for about 15 minutes at a time and then would be pretty worn out. We are so grateful for each and every step forward!!

Thank you for your continued prayers. God is good!
