Here we go again...new set of casts...those darn cute little feet keep slipping out!!

Update from Erik and Dawn:

"Well, we made it 4 days with these casts, but even these started slipping again.  Analise has been screaming in pain the last couple of nights, and partly during the day.  No sleep for any of us.  We didn't know if it was because of teething or her casts.  We couldn't just pick up and fly to Philadelphia again, so we made an appointment with Dr. Hurley at the Kaiser Fontana this morning.  She agreed that her left foot was slipping, so we decided to change both casts again.  It actually went very smoothly.  Dr. Hurley gave her new casts, fiberglass only, to keep them lighter.  

Bye, bye pink casts, hello white, so we will have to put leg warmers on to dress them up.  Poor Analise had little sores on both of her feet from where her feet were slipping and rubbing on the plaster/fiberglass.  

On the way home, Analise finally slept, almost 3 hours without any fussing!!!  Hopefully these casts will last the 2 and a half weeks until our return visit to Philadelphia to remove the casts and get new custom braces for her legs.  

On a positive note, Analise is doing a little talking now.  She says "mama" on a regular basis, and every once in a while she throws in "papapapapa" and "hi."  Very cute.  Kaley caught her on video saying mama.  

Analise's teeth look like they are starting to come in on top.  Hopefully her screaming is not related to teething or we are in for some sleepless nights!!

Thanks for all of your support for Analise.  We hope everyone had a great Easter!

Here are a couple of pictures from Philly and today."
