The Cast is Off!

Hi Everyone-

Sorry it's been such a long time since we've updated the blog. We had some technical difficulties.

We'll tray and recap the last month for you.

Daisy and her family flew down to Susanville, California courtesy of Sonam's friends Curtis and Linda Vixie and Rick Hart. They all had heaps of dental work done and had a great time with Curtis and Linda's family (including paintball in Reno, Nevada). Curtis needed to perform Daisy's work under general anesthesia (she REALLY doesn't like going to the dentist!).

There have been plenty of social activities to keep Daisy occupied after her return to Bend with trips to the library and the park, friends over dinner and going to dinner at other people's houses. She's the queen bee and lead social organizer when friends are over. She continues to have play dates with friends here in Bend.

Her cast came off on 25 April and she started physical therapy that day. She wasn't very happy about the whole process, but she tolerated it very well overall and Carla Smith (her amazing doctor) has been renamed "My Carla" from "Dr. No"! She's even been heard to utter "My Carla is very nice"!

She's a superstar about physical therapy - she can now stand on her own for a few seconds at a time, but still needs the walker to ambulate. Megan, her physical therapist, is really happy with her progress and is impressed with how tough she is.

Daisy had her "post-cast outfit" picked out from the moment my sister, Helen, gave her a beautiful red tutu. As soon as the cast was off....her new outfit was on! Doma has been on the hunt for 'tok tok shoes' (heels that make noise when you walk) and she was finally successful yesterday!

Daisy still loves swimming and goes to the pool almost everyday. The newest addition to her wardrobe is an "Ariel" swimsuit and cover-up.

Our friend Liz made the most incredible fairy outfit for Daisy and we've all had fun wearing it!

Hope you're all well and thank you again for all of the wonderful thoughts and gifts coming Daisy's way! It's been amazing.
