Quick update on Hadley

It's been awhile since I've put an update on Hadley on here.

She is doing very good! We had an xray done in July and her curve was 15 degrees. It only went up a couple degrees, which is very normal and very good! The plan is to go back in January with the brace off for a wk prior to her xray and if her curve continues to be under 20 degrees, we will be leaving that hospital with NO brace! We will then have frequent visits and first to make sure she is not progressing!

We are sad to announce that her Dr left Shriners to go to Cincinnati, OH children's hospital. He has been an amazing Dr. But we are also happy that we are at the end of our journey(hopefully) and he got us through all her casting(hopefully). We will see how we like the new Dr in Chicago and if we absolutely do not like him, then we'll be making the trip to OH to continue with her Dr. I'm sure he will be good though!

In the past month, Hadley has been complaining that her brace is too tight... and it sure seems tight, but after a trip to Chicago to check it, they refused to do anything about it. Very frustrating, but were dealing with it. After all, we just have a few months to go!!! :)

Thanks again for all the prayers! God is amazing!






Mia's first day of school

Mia had her first day of school last Thursday. She was very excited this year to go to her new school. I think she is going to enjoy it! The first thing she told us when we picked her up on Thursday is that she had gym! It was definitely the highlight of her day! We are thrilled that Mia is able to attend Ozaukee Christian School this year with God's guidance and providing! Not only will she learn, but she will have Jesus a part of her daily life! It doesnt get any better than that :)
