Great News - Sadie is doing really well! She has been having some issues with her knees and it was decided we should do an MRI just to make sure we aren't missing anything. The results were given yesterday at her appointment and her knees are clear of any synovitis... that is a BIG BIG DEAL - Praise the Lord!!
Sadie saw her surgeon and she was given the go ahead to stop using the brace if she felt she could tolerate it. She hasn't been feeling better in or out of it lately so she was really hoping for his approval to stop using it. We need to make sure that she wasn't going to do any further damage to her ankle by not using it and the surgeon is pretty cut and dry "you can't do more to it; it's broken (not literally) and eventually we will have to fix it". He is going to follow her every three months now, which is more often then before, but he feels he needs to keep a close eye on it He also said to Sadie "one day you will walk in here and say I have had enough and that is the day I know it is time to take bigger measure, for now... we just do the best with what you have". I totally feel that he is a blessing to us, has been since the first time we saw him.
We are going to try (in March after Sadie's big school production) to reduce one of her medications. This has not been successful in the past, but we are prayerful this time will be the time we can start to finally get rid of this medication.
Sadie continues to do PT through Children's and at home and that was going well until we all one-by-one got the flu. We are looking forward to getting back on track with PT here at home because it was getting easier and helping her get stronger.
If the posts are long between it usually means that things are going fairly well and holding there own which is a really great place to be.
