New fingers coming soon!!!!

We had a very good trip to Salt Lake City for Braylee's appointments today!  Nothing but good news along with a surgery date.  We started off with a visit to Shriners Hospital for Children for to see her orthopedic surgeon for her hands and feet. Her hands have healed up so well and her doctor is happy with her progress. We have scheduled her next surgery for another finger release for May 12, 2014. Here they will be separating the rest of her fingers on her right hand so she will have 5 that's right FIVE fingers!! HOORAY! For her left hand they will be releasing her middle and ring fingers so she will have 4 total!  We are so very happy that she will get to have 5 fingers but we are really not looking forward to having her in those casts for 3 weeks. But it will all be worth it in the end! :)

Waiting for her appointments
Such a pretty girl



Her next appointment was for her feet.  All looks good there!  She had an x-ray done on her spine to see if her kyphosis (curvature of the spine)  was getting better.  Thankfully it is almost completely resolved!!  We will still have to keep an eye on it but the prognosis looks good!  So we will just keep going with our 6 month check-ups so they can stay on top of her case and catch anything if it happens.





Her last appointment was for to see her pediatric dentist.  He said her teeth look just like any other kid her age but we will just keep an eye on it when more start to come in.  Since her mouth is so narrow her teeth are most likely going to be really close together so she has a higher chance of cavities since it will be harder to clean.

It was a very good day!!!
