Well, we can't believe it's July already! Time flies with a 5 year old in your house. Sorry it's been so long since we've updated the blog. It got a little hectic at the end with swimming lessons, play dates, physical therapy, hanging out by the river, friends visiting..... you know how it goes.
We had our last appointment with Dr. Mike Ryan and did a final x-ray. Everything looks great. Her hips are both seated well and we're hoping that her legs will be the same length by the time she's fully recovered. It will take a full year to be able to evaluate her final status.
She is still walking with a limp because her hips are so stiff after years of limping due to her right hip and then being in a cast for 3 months. She's doing a great job in physical therapy and just playing - which is the best therapy!
She loved cycling and swimming and was doing a great job in the pool by the time she left.
She and her mom went to NY to visit family and she's going to continue swimming while she's there.
We miss having her around and the house seems strangely quiet. Thank you all for your help, concern and good thoughts.
Daisy is in a much better place than prior to surgery and we can't thank Carla and Mike enough.
Here are a few photos from our last couple of weeks: camping in the Ochoco's, dinner with Carla Smith and her family, a visit with our friend Shannon and general dress up and dinners!
Hope you're all well and enjoying your summers wherever you are!
Cheers-
