Sept. 11th

Adi and I were on the freeway at 7:30am this morning headed up to Shriner’s to get her casts off. When we got up there we got right in to see Sonya at 9am and she took off the casts and let her soak her feet and play in warm soapy water. Adi was so cute to watch and wished I got it on camera. She had loved hitting her feet together with the casts because of the slight noise they’d make but once they came off she just looked like she didn’t know what to think about her real feet. Sonya loved the amount of progress she saw in one session of the casts that she decided we wouldn’t need to have a second round right away like we’d planned. They made soft removable casts for her to sleep in and then sent us down to get her feet molded for braces for her to walk in. She is a really patient child and the man who worked with us was impressed by how good natured she was during the whole procedure. We left Shriner’s at 10:45 and went directly to Timp hospital for a weight check. She is 15 lbs 8 oz which we are happy with considering the stomach flu she’s had for over a week.
