Molly's X-Rays Today

We had a very busy day today. We had 4 women here from Early Intervention to put Molly through some diagnostic testing. We are trying to apply for services for Molly in hopes of getting both some in-home help as well as an Aide for Preschool. They had a psychologist, pediatrician and PT here to test her. She tested above average for language, just below age level for fine motor and at an 11 month level for gross motor.

I was starting to question whether I jumped the gun and scheduled her surgery sooner than I should have. Today she complained of pain in her left leg and then pointed right where the non-union (unhealed fracture) was. Well, we had X-Rays taken today and both the Tibia and Fibula (two lower-leg bones) have unhealed fractures. Poor thing.

She did amazingly well during her X-Rays. She didn't cry at all and stayed still while they took the films. It is amazing how far she has come at such a young age.

We have scheduled her surgery in Omaha for March 24th. I am now feeling thankful that it is as soon as it is. Her spirits continue to be good.
