We spent time waiting for the first casting appt to come by
splashing in the pool a lot, as Mithadeline will lose this option once the
casts are put on. We also went camping and sent our oldest daughter to a week
of summer camp. We are praying she has an amazing time!
So on July 2, we headed to Shriners to get the first set of
casts. The waiting was long, but fun. Mithadeline did a fair share of crying as
the casts were put on. They were hot and she was not a fan of any of it. She
took it easy for most of the rest of the day, even smiling and getting around
on the floor quite a bit after a good dose of Tylenol with codeine. She had a
rough first night of sleeping. Day 2 of casts is going well. She is proving
she has much determination. She even came down the steps on her own today! We’ve
had to adapt how to sit at the table and how to go potty, but we continue to be
astounded by this little light of joy. She radiates joy, even with full leg
casts!

The week has not been all peaches and cream. She has some
sore spots, mostly from where the top of the cast is digging into her leg….but
she is a trooper! She enjoys coloring, playing ball, playing with her baby dolls and listening to music!
