Busy Little Bee

We seem to have hit a new development speed! She is learning new tricks by the hour. She is also EXTREMELY active these days! Yikes!

She transitioned from sitting to on her stomach for the first time today. She also now says "baa" for sheep and "moo" for cow.

We had a water therapy session this morning, which Molly LOVES!! There was a therapist there who specializes in water therapy. She was impressed with how active and strong Molly was. It is always good to hear that from someone who knows what they are talking about. She could tell that Molly spends a lot of time on her belly by seeing how strong she is.

We spent over an hour in the water and I think she could have been in there even longer!

We just made flight reservations for a trip west at the end of the month. We're going to Omaha to have our first OI clinic. We'll meet with PT, OT, Endocrinology, and Orthopedics. We are hoping that we get some answers about the big picture for Molly as well as a definitive answer about when to expect to do her rodding surgery. The thought is that we will wait until 18 months and evaluate at that time, but if she has a femur fracture before that point that we will fly out and have the surgery done at that time. We are really excited to get some answers and get things in place for her surgery.

Here is a link to an article CLICK HERE about a family from Denmark that flew to Omaha to meet with the doctors there. There are some photos in the article as well (click on the "More About Marie Laursen" link on the right).

Here's a photo of Dr. Plotkin (in the forefront) with the family from Denmark:


After the OI clinic we'll fly to St. Louis for a visit with Jim's parents. It will nice for Jim to be home and for Molly to get to visit and meet all of their friends.
