Rivers is Home

Rivers got out of the hospital on Saturday, August 8th. She had a post-op appointment on Monday which included an x-ray. It was so awesome to see her leg completely straight! Dr. Kasser did a phenomenal job, and we are so excited to see what her leg looks like when she comes out of the cast. We will go back to Boston on September 11th for another appointment and x-ray and possible cast removal.
Rivers has done really well since being home. She remembers the previous spica cast and definitely appreciates the freedom that this cast provides in comparison. Yesterday, we were sitting on the floor playing with blocks when she decided that she wanted to watch a television show. She slid her leg over, picked up her left leg, and then slid her bottom. She did this several times until she was directly in front of the TV. Children are so smart!
