So, it looks like since my last update we were almost out of the full spica cast that Uriah was in for his two broken femurs! Wow, do I have some things to update you on. Well, we had the cast removed on July 1st, which was just in time for our yearly family vacation with the Priests. This year, we went to Sevierville, TN which was absolutely wonderful! If you've never been to the Smokey Mountains, get yourself online right now and book a cabin with Timber Tops Realty (http://www.yourcabin.com/) ! Amazing homes with even more amazing views. Everyone had their own rooms and bathrooms, it was almost like being in a hotel inside a hotel! Since Uriah was only two weeks out of his cast at this point, he wasn't moving around a whole tone but it was a great thing that he was out of the cast...it was hot as a dickens!! The trip went off without anything overly nerve wrecking and we really enjoyed our time with family. Definitely looking forward to next year!
Uriah has been continuing his physical therapy twice a week and since the femur breaks, we've been including aquatic therapy because its really good for his gross motor development. Who knew that there could be so much muscle regression in such a short period of time. Many of the skills that Uriah had mastered, like crawling and his now infamous bear walk are things of the past that we are having to learn all over again. It's more frustrating for me though because I can see in his face how badly he wants to move towards a toy, but I can also see the lack of confidence that he has. This condition affects so much more than the bones. Of course, we're throwing every prayer we can muster up to God because we really believe that in our worship is healing! So, out of the cast for one and a half months and then BAM...another broken femur. Here's my praise report though; three broken femurs in three months time and none have been displaced! Hallelujah! We may not be happy that he has broken legs, but praise God for protecting his body and keeping those bones in their place.
Well, I think I'll use a different post to update you on our Pamidronate (PAM will be the reference from here on out) infusions. The doctors who we prayed for have been delivered and we're so excited about this connection. You know I'm a praying Momma!
Love you too pieces!
