A lot of Progress and a Much Needed Break

Wow, its been so long since I have posted on this site.  To update from the last post, Madi was able to start walking after her xrays and we began a long process of physical therapy to regain her range of motion and strength in her leg.  We were very busy with school, activities and therapy but she made continual progress and eventually was back to her pre-surgery self.  We had a check up with Dr. Paley in March of 2015 and were told that her xrays look great and we didn't have to come back for a year.  We were so happy to have a much needed break from surgeries and travel.  It has been so nice to see Madi have time to be just a little girl away from hospitals and therapy.  She continues to do great and is progressing in everything she does.  She has done dance and now is showing an interest in soccer.  We are scheduled to go back to Florida in February for new xrays and to plan when her next lengthening will be.  She has been asking for her next lengthening for the past 6 months but I'm not quite sure I'm ready.  Her spirit just amazes me!  Well, that's about all.  I will update more after her next xrays.  Merry Christmas to you all.  Thank you for all of your support!  Here are some updated pictures.
