FINALLY, Bajab's new leg

FINALLY!!!!

The day has arrived --

BaJab's is getting a leg!!!

AGAIN,

 the day did NOT go as planned --

WE ARE FLEXIBLE!

My mom, all three girls and I left bright and early for Grand Rapids. 

We had a beautiful day!

When we arrived -- Mr. Mark had everything ready -

INCLUDING

a FINISHED leg.

Yes,

It was already fired and PRETTY!!!!

Hmmmmm......................

Usually, we come in the morning --

Do a final fitting and THEN he fires it and makes it pretty and we come back in the afternoon to pick it up.

Well, 

She tried it on --

Yep, there was some adjustments....

 Mr. Mark helping with the insert and socks.

The first time the leg going ON!

How many socks, moving the pressure around and grinding some 

 MEASURING -- making sure the hips are level.

 The first walk -- notice the foot is not positioned perfectly -- YET.

My Darling and Elizabeth -- watching.

We did have Elizabeth's leg looked at as well.  She needs a BIGGER foot and a longer leg.

Oh, probably that will start in a month or 2 :)

Practicing walking again!!  My Darling was so excited for BaJab's.  She loved walking the halls with her :)

Oh, and notice --- better foot placement!

BUT

after just 1 1/2 hours we were DONE and the leg fit.

 We are happy :)  The leg is beautiful 

AND
No worries there is a matching outfit coming soon!

Sickness was hard on momma this week!

 Showing the set-up -- 

She has to wear a sleeve this time for better support.

Our goal is to use a pin set-up but that is impossible after the surgery.  So, for now this will work.

So, 2 socks, the padded insert, the leg and finally the sleeve.

Yes, 

BaJab's still has some pain -- and she will gradually spend more time in the leg.  

Her stub needs to tough'en up!

My mom cuddling Abby after some of her walking.  Her leg was a tad sore.

ALTHOUGH -- she did not take it off until we got home --

Yep, she still used her scooter at the mall.

SO ---

With the appointment completed ---- EARLY

We headed to the gluten-free bakery 

AND

Finally, off to the mall.

Yes, my girls LIKE to shop.

We found some AWESOME deals on some fun spring items.

Amazingly, the girls needed a few things.

We had a yummy lunch at Panera's -- this is almost always the pick from all three girls.

Final stop for mom and I --- Teavana 

WONDERFUL cup of Jasmine tea -- reminds me of China --

A GREAT productive day ---

I had wonderful time with the girls AND with my mom.  We rarely have that much time together -- and it was nice.  The girls were SOOOO good.  We got everything on our list AND we surprised the boys and picked up BERNIOS pizza on the way home. 

The most unbelievable is that we were home BEFORE 5!!!

BaJab's will have at least one more appointment and maybe two for some adjustments --

We are really praying for complete healing in her stub -- SOON.
