“Look at my leg! I have a cast, it’s broken.” I’ve heard that a lot over the last few days. Amy is super aware that her leg is broken, but she doesn’t realize what the implications are. She needs surgery, and based on our experience with the McFarland, I know Read more…
Numb. Just Numb. It was a Tuesday like any other, except Amy was hurting. Again. We had an appointment to see Dr. Lerman this afternoon, but I gave her the opportunity to play hooky while I went to MOPS. That way I would be close if she needed me, and Read more…
Well, hello Autumn! It’s one of my favorite times of year. The air is crisp and cool, it’s my birthday, school starts, the leaves change, and HALLOWEEN ! What’s not to like? Pain. That’s what. Every year around this time, her pain ticks up. I have no idea why. On Read more…
Guess whaaaaat? ? We’re back, and wearing the old brace. I am so over this. So, here we are. No pictures from today’s visit either. Cammie did a LOT of time consuming work adjusting Amy’s brace. I means that Amy had loads of time to play on, and kill, my Read more…
Here we are again… Good Lord this is making me crazy! Amy ended up back in her old brace again, the new one was hurting her too much. No pictures today though, it was a quickie! She ran up and down the hall, and her foot isn’t turning out at Read more…
So, today found us back at Stanford a little early. Originally we were scheduled for next week, but she’s been kicking her brace off more and ore due to increased pain, so we got her in right away. Thanks to the iPad, she was plenty entertained, and had no problem Read more…
I heard from Dr. Hoffinger today! He is very pleased with Amy’s new x-ray! He said, “Keep doing what you’re doing, keep going to that church, saying those prayers, doing those rain dances, whatever you’re doing, KEEP IT UP! Change nothing, and come see me in a month.” Amy’s (awesome) Read more…
So, today was the day. Dr. Hoffinger said that Amy would start to feel better when one of two things happened: A) Her graft heals to the point that the bone hardens at the bottom, ending/lessening her pain. B) Her graft breaks, releasing the pressure on her leg and ending/lessening Read more…
So today we headed back to Emeryville to see Dr. Hoffinger. So that means, we get to ride the train! ? It is SO much better than driving. It takes the same amount of time (or sometimes less), and costs about the same. Also, breakfast! Anyways, we had a very Read more…
I watched Amy sleeping this morning, reluctant to wake her. Once again, she was Schrodinger’s baby. Would her leg hurt? Or would she be comfortable to get up and walk? If I didn’t wake her, then she was both and neither at the same time. Only one way to find Read more…
