Our First Blog

Okay so this is my first attempt at blogging and not so sure I will be good at it.  I got this idea from a dear friend and fellow fixator mom!!  That is your shout out Jamie.  I wish I would have done this at the beginning of Gracie's surgery but oh well.  There is no time like the present.  I am posting some pics of Gracie's journey over the last few months.  Just to keep you updated.....Gracie is now finished with the lengthening process and gained over 3.25 inches!  She looks so great.  Right now she is still wearing her fixator during the consolidation phase (bone hardening).  We are so happy to be home but miss all of our friends that we made during our stay in West Palm Beach.  Most of them are home now too!  We will continue therapy here at home until it is time for the removal which should be in about 2 - 3 months.  She is attending school and just trying to keep up everyday.  She has therapy at 8am every morning and then goes straight to school.  By the time she gets home she is exhausted.  She is such a trooper and we are so proud of her.  Tanner is super happy to have his mom and sister home full time now.  He told me he was tired of talking to me on the phone and could I just hurry up and get here.  Paul has even managed to be here with us for our first full week home.  Thanks to everyone who sent Gracie presents and for keeping us in your thoughts!!
