Analise had to get new casts today...

Update from Erik and Dawn:
"Well, we thought we would have a relaxing day, but actually spent it at the clinic at Shriners Hospital.  Analise's feet seemed to be receding in both of her casts.  We were worried that the casts would eventually fall off so we emailed Dr. van Bosse and he told us to come on in.  They had to take xrays to see if the the feet were coming up.  Her leg bones looked great, but she definitely needed new casts.
After several hours, we went through the process of taking the old casts off and putting new ones on, NOT FUN!  Analise did not like it, and actually thought for a moment she wasn't going to have casts anymore.  We were actually very lucky, because he had his clinic open today and her ankles were getting very irritated from the pressure.  The new casts are much tighter, but we need to be extra careful to not pull or grab on them when changing her diapers or picking her up.  Very difficult.

We are happy we are coming home tomorrow.  We took a couple of pictures while the casts were off.


Look how straight her legs are, YEAH!! Hopefully she will be running around soon!!"

Here is Analise...sleeping with all her new hardware...so glad she can sleep through it and will never remember any of this!!!
