News..

So 2 days before Bailey's Shriners appointment I had a dream about Bailey coming home in a cast.. Must be Mother's intuition because I'll be damned if that's not what happened! I guess I should start questioning my dreams. haha.

Dr. vB said Bailey's right foot isn't looking very good, it has definitely regressed and the bone is starting to poke out of the side of her foot. He talked again about doing a tendon transfer but he'd like to wait until after she turns 4. So in the meantime he wants to try serial casting again, long leg casts for a few weeks then to a short leg cast for a few more weeks. He will then put her in a UCBL brace during the day which is a brace just for the bottom of her foot and for at night she'll have an AFO(like she has now) with straps. The good news is we are going to try to do away with a brace for her left foot ALL together since it's looked good for over a year now! So for now we will be traveling to Philly every 1-2 weeks for cast changes. Our next appointment is December 19th.

Not really sure what we are going to do about school while Bailey is in a cast, I have to have a meeting with her teacher to figure out the best way to go about this! I'm thinking if I get her new stroller which is an adaptive stroller that acts as a wheelchair and can be used to transport her on and off the bus that there should be no problem. Once she's in a walking cast she should be fine without it!

Wednesday is the BIG day! Bailey gets her Brain MRS & whole body muscle MRI. I am so nervous for various different reasons but it is finally here and I'm ready to get it over with and have some results.

That's all folks.
