Back to Blog

It's been awhile since I've been on my own blog, clearly I haven't really been writing! Anyway, Katie has healed very well from her surgeries. She had a recent MRI, and her neurosurgeon said it looked "good". As of now her next test for follow up with the brain surgery isn't until the winter. We'll go up to Boston for that test. However, she does have another surgery planned for Tuesday. When she went to her orthopedic appointment in February they found her femur to be slipping out of her hip socket. Not sure that's the medical explanation, but works for me....Apparently it's pretty common for this to happen in little people, and a "simple fix". The doc will put a pin/screw in to hold it in place. It's a quick surgery, but she will most likely be in a hip cast for about 4 weeks. Katie loves to run, and jump, so it may be quite a challenge! We'll have to be creative in activities:) She's having the surgery done at duPont, and I don't get great cell reception there. I will do my best to keep up with the blog!!

On another topic, we bought a new house!!! Still in the same area. We plan to have our things moved in on April 1st, but will take our time getting the house together, but hope to be in by Easter. We're really excited to start a new chapter!!

Here' s some pics of what Katie has been up to over the last few months...

Loves playing play-doh with daddy!

Going outside in her new hat

Getting hugs from her friend Markos



Making cupcakes for Vday with Auntie Niki

Eating the cupcakes, of course!!

Getting a medal from her Uncle Mike. He had hip surgery as a boy, and is still able to place 2nd in a 10K!!

Sitting in a box of noodles, she thinks she's so funny!!!

Drinking a bottle, and watching TV

So it's definitely been a little crazy these last few months, but we're hanging in there. Katie is such a joy, she is really starting to talk a lot! Since she is my child, I'm sure that doesn't surprise anyone!!! She even likes to sing, it's pretty funny hearing that little voice try to sing Twinkle Twinkle. I miss seeing everyone, and once we get through this, we plan to reenter society:) I look forward to a wonderful, healthy Spring!!!!!
