Healing, "beaching" and now in Maine

Molly is one amazing little girl.  We found out that one of her top front teeth that was white had the face of it fall off.  We went to the dentist on Thursday and she sat perfectly still while he used some tools to put a new plastic face on it and cured it with a "magic" light wand.  What a mature 4 year old :).

Since we were missing school anyway we decided to head to the beach to visit our friend Dr. Mary and her two girls (Alexi, 7 has OI, and Aubrey, 10 no OI).  On the drive down Molly complained about her splint itching and hurting.  When we stopped and took it off she had new sores forming and we had to keep the splint off.  Molly was adamant that we put it back on, but given the way her leg was looking this was not an option.  We got there by 2 on Thursday and got right out on the sand and Molly searched for shells and played with the girls while Dr. Mary and I visited.  She was doing amazingly well without her splint on and was bending it and moving about fairly well.  It was so nice to be on the beach and to have some time to visit with another "OI Mom".

We headed home on Friday afternoon and arrived back in Raleigh in time to have dinner and begin packing.  We got on a plane this morning to head to Maine and Molly was a great traveler.  This evening she decided her leg was feeling good enough to try standing and stood at least partially on her right leg and thought it felt good.  After a second or two she had had enough, but that is a great sign for the days to come.  I had debated bringing her walker up to Maine and decided it was too much to try and carry around - ugh, now she is already wanting to stand... Maybe I'll be able to find someone with a walker up here she can borrow???

It is nice when the biggest "problem" is that Molly is healing faster than expected :)

Tomorrow is Maple Sugar Fest here in Maine and we are going to go and visit a farm to learn all about it.
