YAHOO!!! The knee is bending!!! We went into Hotel D on Tuesday as scheduled - The procedure went VERY WELL!!! The Dr. did not have to cut AT ALL!!! YAHOO!!! Madi's knee bent 140 degrees while she was "asleep" ... YAHOO!!! AND we were able to head home with our CPM machine (it has her knee bending and straightening for 8 hours a day) on Thursday IN TIME for me to make it to open house!! - YAHOO x's 3... or is is 4??? HAHAHAHA
Madi is doing her PT and machine daily and while she doesn't love it, she knows she can do it and she is pushing herself more and more each day. I am so proud of our little one. She amazes me each and every day.
NOW... for a Ashlyn celebration! She receives the BEST SISTER EVER award... while the girls don't always get along (hahahah... think fighting over who sits in the front seat, who gets to shower first, who is being the meanest...) Ashlyn has the privilege of being a WEB Leader at Twality this year, as a leader she had to go to 2 full day trainings and prepare for the 6th graders to come to school. She came home and shared how she spoke about Madi, made sure she found out who Madi's WEB Leader was and touched base with her to make sure she understood Madi's needs. My heart melted as she shared about her concerns that she shared. I am so thankful Madi and her have each other. Ashlyn truly loves her and does so much to protect her... she can mess with Madi - but NO ONE else better even try.
Both girls will be at Middle School this year and we are so grateful for an AWESOME year - Fingers crossed, prayers accepted!!!
Thank you so much to our friends, family and EVERY SINGLE one of you who continue to cheer with us and stick by us through this journey.
