update....

Just to let you know we've narrowed down Syd's pain source to her right knee (only when she uses the stairs), So until further notice we're helping her up and down. That being said there is still a considerable change in her gait but she seems to be compensating well. Her attitude is simply phenomenal! We could all learn so much from her. We are scheduled for appts. with Genetics and Ortho along with xrays.  Aug.19th unless something changes. Please keep her in your prayers...speedy healing would be great:) To God be the glory!
Blessings.....


In Christ,
Sandy

prayers......

No news is good news right? Things have been pretty routine here since my last post in February. Just until a few weeks ago everything was about the same - nothing new. I had actually postponed scheduling Sydney's routine check up just so we could enjoy the summer without any Dr. appts. Works for me! But sadly in the past few weeks we have noticed some more changes in posture, this time more so than last. Makes sense considering  the news we received at the last appt. but still not something we feel ready for.Can you ever be ready for the fact that your child might not be able to walk? Sydney is starting to limp and has just in the last 2 days complained of pain in her right leg.She NEVER complains. She's also had a few falls, nothing serious but falls just the same. So again I wonder if we've enjoyed this "healthy" time. I certainly hope that this will be a temporary thing and that there is no further progression - please pray that with me. We'll be going back to the children's hospital soon to see what's going on. I must continue to praise and thank God for everything that He has done and will continue to do in and through our lives. With much love....

In Christ,
Sandy
