Just another day...


Well Isabella will be 10 weeks old on Friday and she weighs 10 lbs. I can't believe how big she is getting. At her last appointment with her Orthopedic doctor in Birmingham, they informed us that her hip is not stabilizing the way they think it should be and unless there is a miracle and significant stabilization of her hip by her next appointment then they are planning to put her in a hard cast. In order for the hard cast to be applied she will have to be put under general anaesthesia so that they can place her hip in the socket correctly and she won't move it while the cast is drying. At first I was a little upset by this news, but I am getting used to the idea a little more now that I have had a couple of weeks to think about it. I know that it isn't going to be the end of the world or anything, but it is just hard to think that she will not be able to move her legs at all or be able to take a bath for 3 months, but this is better than her having life long problems with that hip. Other than that she is doing great.

Dylan is doing good too, he is still getting in trouble from time to time at school, but not everyday like before. We have been walking to school everyday with one of his classmates, Skylee, and her mom, Stephanie, who lives right down the road. I think the walking helps to him to burn off a little bit of his energy before school and hopefully that helps him to concentrate on his school work, and it helps me to get a little exercise in as well.

Tony and I are doing good as well. When I went to my post-partum doctors appointment, he noticed a skip in my heart beat, he said that it is probably benign but he sent me over to the hospital to get an ekg, and to get a halter monitor that I had to wear for 24 hours. There were apparently some abnormalities on the monitor when they read it so he sent me back to the hospital to get an echocardiogram (aka uktrasound of the heart). This has had me a little freaked out, especially with my family history of heart disease, but the doctor keeps insisting that everything is ok so I am trying my best to believe him.

(I will post new pictures soon)
