Leg Repairs PLUS

Another BIG day!

Since both girls have issues with their legs -- 

it was imperative that we get them fixed ASAP

Mr. M did not have many days available 

SO

Today was the day :)

Yes, we made My Darling go to school -- she handled it well ;)

Elizabeth, BaJabs, my friend Pam and I

left early this morning for a long day in GR

Mr. M and Mr. J concentrated a bit on Elizabeth due to the fact this was going to be a BIG repair/fix.

Elizabeth has a BIG difference going on with her hips.  

So, until we can have the surgery -- we will make the adjustment with the prosthetic leg.

 If you look close you can see that she is angled -- that is with an one inch lift

It looks about right.

Yes, BaJabs is giving Mr. M bunny ears.  They love that man :) And thankfully, he is so good natured and takes it from the girls AND teases right back!

The conclusion -- 

They are adding 1 1/4 inches to the leg!!

WOW!!!!

That is huge.

It will make her hips level BUT her knees will NOT be.

BaJabs -- well, she was EASY!!

All we ended up needing to do was add a special, very thin stocking to the layers she already buts on.

This stocking allows for less sweat and less pulling.

We walked LOTS in the afternoon and it seemed to work.

YEAH!

Once all the decisions were made and the inches were added -- roughly

Elizabeth tried it on -- it was good -- so, we have to wait about 3 hours for them to finish it to look........

PRETTY!!!

Off to the gluten free bakery, mall (crazy place -- what was I thinking)

 and lunch.

We came back and got the leg -- it's beautiful.

I FORGOT to bring in the camera the 2nd time.

BUT 

I did remember to take a picture when we got home.

It's beautiful!!!

She picked the fabric -- BUT let Mr. M decided what flowers to put on the front.

It turned out great.

She said it is very Chinese!!!  That was why she picked it!

If you look close you can see that her knees don't line up.

She said it feels weird when she walks.

We proceeded to come home -- make dinner and then off to the annual Christmas Band Concert for the boys.

AND

Yep, I left the camera sitting on the kitchen counter.

Both boys did wonderful!!!  I was really impressed.

JM was able to move up to 7th grade band because he plays well.  

MD just went back to band this tri.  He did not do marching band this year.

JM plays the trumpet.

AND

MD played the alto sax tonight but will be going back to the tenor sax for the rest of the tri.

Unfortunately, My Darling experienced a terrible nose bleed during the first part of the concert.  It took me forever to get it to stop.

Thankfully, we got it stopped in time to still hear both boys play.

She's cuddled up in my bed right now -- she ended up with a tummy ache.

All in all

A GOOD day!!!

NO surprises :)

Pretty predictable!!!

Yep, I like those kind of days!
