    Parents Completely released from the ortho!

    YAY. You may recall my DD broke her wrist all the way through the growth plate 10 weeks ago doing a back beam series. 6 weeks in a cast. We went yesterday for a one month follow up. He had originally said he may want to follow her for a year b/c of it being a growth plate, but her xrays...

    ortho appointment in the morning

    Just asking for some healing fairies and good luck fairies for my DD at her ortho appt in the morning. This past week her back started hurting in her spinal area mid to lower back and although it hasn't been going on for long it worries me. Her twin sister has a stress fracture at L5 vertebrae...

    Emily was cleared by the ortho today!

    It's been seven long months since Emily's ACL reconstruction, and today the ortho finally cleared her to do "whatever you are comfortable doing" :D I asked Em later if she thought this day would ever come and her reply was "nope" with a big grin on her face. We have been so fortunate to have...

    Caileigh and Emily both see the ortho tomorrow - wish us luck!

    Heading up to Philly tomorrow morning with both Caileigh and Emily to see the orthopedist. Caileigh is hoping to get off her crutches after 4 weeks, and have her cast replaced with a walking boot. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing - LOL - as she is driving the poor trainer at...

    Back to see the ortho in the morning

    We are headed back to Philly in the morning to see Em's orthopedist. She has been doing really well since her ACL reconstruction/meniscus repair in April, but over the past couple of weeks had started having a lot of pain at the site of the meniscal repair. Poor kid is really discouraged...

    Parents Final Ortho appt tomorrow??

    Olivia is now in her 3rd week of wearing her air cast. Needless to say, she's sick of it. She was using crutches for almost 2 weeks, didn't seem to mind them, though. I think they were more of a novelty. Anyway, she has been going to physical therapy 2x a week and said it's not as painful as...

    Parents Ortho appt yesterday for Beth

    Got in at the end of the day--once again we were the last one's in the doctor's office LOL! Not good news though--one of the breaks is possibly through her growth place--he thinks he foot might be done growing though, so it might be okay. The other two breaks are away from growth plates, but...
