Brace #10 Drama (Part 3)
Hoffinger called today. Unsurprisingly, he’s not okay with Amy’s brace. So, back to the old one for now. On the positive side, Cammie has already called and discussed things with Hanger. We will have our new one in 2 weeks, Jul. 31st. Just in time for school! Thank goodness!

A (Sorta) 504 and 2 Adjustments
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…
