I finally heard from Radlyn's surgeon and he said the CT scan looked perfect!
Yea!!!
So excited, not sure I could have handled having to start over.
Next step is to take her back to the OR for a cast change March 11
In the mean time...we just try and survive
She is getting use to it I guess...look how happy she is!
This is how we "bathe" her!
Lots of hands are needed so usually we settle for a washcloth bath
We had to say good-bye to my Mom, it is always hard, but she was needed elsewhere
She has been missed!
How uncomfortable does this look????
We don't go many places, actually we don't go anywhere!
It takes a while to get her in the right position and you can see how much she likes it
This is how we have to change her diaper (this picture doesn't do it justice) but we have to flip her over to put the back of diaper up the cast. She had pooped everywhere so it was taking forever to clean it up and she feel asleep.
Poor little thing!
We finally fed her some rice cereal w/ pears for her 1st solid food ever!
She liked it the first time but so far hasn't really enjoyed it since.
We thought this might help firm things up so we didn't have runny poop all up in her cast, but so far she hasn't eaten enough to make much of a difference
She also had her first pedicure...pink to match her cast!
This week is a vast improvement from last week! I was quite certain I was never going to be able to do this, but we are slowly getting there. She is pretty much back to her normal sleeping habits, just not always her long naps, which I miss! We have yet to figure out the magic diapering method so no poop gets down her cast, so until we do, we just get to have a smelly baby!
Thank goodness for lots of help with kids, meals, and holding the Chunky Monkey!

So glad to hear the surgery worked! She is so adorable. Praying for you each day!
Oh man Nik!! You deserve mother-of-the-year award! Seriously...that all just sounds crazy. But at least Radlyn looks happy! Hope you are too!
I felt so sad for her, looking at those pics. At least she seems to be adjusting. You are amazing for handling all this so well! Just wish we lived closer to help!
Nikki, How in the world do you do it. She is about the cutest little lady in her pink leg cast.
Oh Nik...life sounds crazy! She is so cute! The plus side is that in the cast you can get her to hold still long enough to do that pretty pedicure. Emma still hasn't gotten one because I could never get her to hold still long enough to get one toe! Just trying to point out the positive...even if it is the only one ;)
