Makani's lengthening Dec 2011-May 2012

We were at CHOC waiting it's sooooo hard to just wait for them to take your baby but i was calm & i knew God was in control & everything would be fine, she was already given diladid by the time i arrived (her dad went down with her first) so this is how she was when i got there she was happy lol.

waiting for the surgery to be done is even harder hours of waiting to even see her but we managed to grab some food & just hang around & talk until she was out of surgery, out of surgery is where reality sets in a bit harder but she's tough, they had her up & walking quickly i was scared it was soooo soon & we took a visit to a room to sit & read & to color most the time we really spent controling pain meds till she was on what she could go home with they kept giving her diladid for pain which i found odd because they didn't do that the first time it made her happier though 

we just wanted to go home....well Makani wanted to stay but it was time to be home & i was soooo happy & scared to go home & when the bandages came off & turns started it was scary but it wasn't long before we had a "normal" routine down

now by Christmas she was much more comfortable & had a great Christmas despite the fixator

there were many adventures for Makani so i will just add a few more pics of daily stuff & normal things that we did alot of home PT since things went bad with the actual PT so it was all at home we hit 7.3cms & thats when we stopped i will make a new post for the next part
