Hadley's Cast # 2 Follow up apt

Hadley had her follow up apt for her 2nd cast yesterday in Chicago. Everything went very well. Mianna joined us this time since we had fun plans to do after the apt. It was nice to get to show her the place where Hadley gets casted. We always leave her behind since casting is such a long process where Hadley needs our individual attention. But now at least she knows where we go and what it's all about.
Hadley had an Xray and her back measured at 23 degrees. Not bad. Could be better, but could be a lot worse! Remember, she started this cast at 12 degrees. So, her back relaxed 11 degrees in one month.
The dates for the recasting are not set yet. The Dr says he would like to recast her in October. I honestly don't know if Hadley will make it that long in this cast. I already think it is tight on her. However, it is better for her to stay in a cast because results are usually better.
The reasoning for him wanting to recast her in October is because the Hospital is going to be closed the months of Nov and Dec for renovation. So, if she's casted in Oct. she should be ok until the hospital reopens in Jan. This makes me a little nervous knowing the hospital will be closed. Hopefully we still have communication access to the nurses in case we need it.
If you could please continue to pray for us, we would appreciate it.
Things to pray for:
-that Hadley can make it till October in this cast without growing out of it.
-for any correction when the cast is taken off
-and always for us to relax and trust God with it all!

Thank you!

  1. Awww...so sweet for her big sister to be there ;) We will definitely continue praying for Hadley, Bailey prays every night and when it's her turn to pray at dinner. It's funny, because Quaid one night said...I think baby Hadley is better now..and I told him she's not and still need's prayer's. Then last week when you guys stopped by the rummage he saw she was still in a cast, then that night it was Quaid's turn to pray and he prayed for baby Hadley...it was sooo sweet :)
