| First day of preschool! |
I know it's been a while since I last posted and I have no excuses. Madi is doing really well. She started preschool in the beginning of September with her brace on so I had the pleasure of attending school with her for the first two weeks. I really enjoyed that and Madi did so well. As you can imagine there were some questions from the kids as to what happened to her but it is so nice how accepting kids are. And they were all so excited when she got the good news that she could remove the brace and start walking. Once that brace came off it was only a matter of minutes before she was on the go. She is such a trooper and she really did so well throughout this surgery and recovery. She was back to her old self quickly and never needed any physical therapy.

We had her first xrays taken 6 weeks after her surgery and we were so pleased to see that she was finally healing in her hip. The bone is coming together and it looks like we are finally on the track to lengthening. We have her next xrays at the end of February and I can't wait to see what they look like. Hopefully we will know more about whats next for her when we get those done.

Right now we are just enjoying time without surgeries and recoveries. After all, three hip surgeries and one knee surgery in only two years time is a lot for a child under 5. Madi loves preschool and has made many friends there. She is still my wild child and never lets anything stand in her way. I love her spirit.
We had new shoes and a brace made for her once she recovered. Its unbelievable but her old brace was the one she got when she was about 15 months old. We got as much use out of it as we could but she was surely due for a new one and even got it made purple with butterflies on it. She is styling now!

When we get new xrays I will update on Madi's progress. Until then, we wish you all a very Happy New
Year!
