Home and doing pretty well






Emma is doing pretty good since getting home on Thur night. She has had some pain but all and all it hasn't been too bad. They sent her home on a pain killer (Loratab) and something for spasms (Valium). Her casts only come up to the tops of her legs, not the whole waist like they first planned. That is because they did not mess with her hamstrings, just her hips. She looks great. My first reaction in recovery was to cry over how tall she looks! She is just beautiful. The casts will be on for 6 weeks. Daddy had to go buy her some dresses since shorts or pants won't go over her casts. Dresses are a new thing for her since with her old froggy hips she was unable to wear them, but we have together legs now! Posted above are some before and after shots of her legs, plus a cute one of me and Emma.

I will try to keep everyone updated, we have just been busy and there really hasn't been a lot to update. Keep Emma in your prayers and thank you for doing so up until this point.

Lou Ann I also didn't realize her legs but I know she will look beatiful in the dress that dad is buying for her. Thoughts are with you always.
