In Ashlyn news.....

Yesterday Ashlyn had an appointment with her orthopedic surgeon and she was given permission to only wear her shoes at night! Yeah! She is so excited. She has not been able to kick her feet for more then an hour since she was born. She loves it and we love it. We do have more to go through, but like the doctor said we need to enjoy the time with her feet being free. For those that don't know Ashlyn also has hip dysplasia her right hip is out of the socket. She is not in any pain at all and she will be able to crawl with it not being in the socket. The doctor is waiting for her hip bone to mature so he can surgically place it back in the socket. Every 3 months she gets an X-ray our next one will be in December. Once he feels it is mature enough Ashlyn willl undergo 2 in a half hours of surgery and then be placed in a cast from her belly button down to her feet for 3 months. There will be a cut out for her diaper. We seriously can't think that far ahead we have to take this day by day because I am already driving myself nuts about it. This is going to be a rough road, but like everything we will get through this and 3 months of her being in a cast is nothing compared to the lifetime she will have of having her hip in place and being able to do all the things we dream of her doing. Here are pictures of Ashlyn enjoying her new freedom!

Loving my feet
