The Weekend





The good news is that Abigail is getting back to her normal personality. She doesn't seem to be in pain at all anymore. She's trying to move around some on her own. She's getting used to the crazy harness for the car, and enjoying being held all the time. The hard thing is that she is getting frustrated with not being able to walk. And, it's hard to entertain her all the time.

The hard news is that we went to the doctor on Friday for a check up. They told us that she will definitely be in the cast for 4 weeks, but possibly for 6-8 weeks. We go back to the doctor February 26. Once she gets her cast off, she will have to learn to crawl and walk again. This will probably take a couple weeks. She will have a limp for about 3-4 months, but possibly for a year. That was hard news to hear.

I had some sort of stomach bug this weekend. Nice, huh! We're all exhausted in every way. My mom has been amazing! She's been here almost everyday. And, she'll continue to be here so that I can go back to work. She and Abigail have formed quite a bond.

Thanks for all the food, prayers, and visits. I think Parker is enjoying this time! He's had tons of friends stop by, and more play dates than ever before. Keep it coming!
