Today we all woke up at the crack of dawn-girls got ready for school and Bree and I worked on cast removal. Boy did she enjoy soaking her legs in warm water after they were removed. On to school we went and then to see our favorite orthopod-Dr. Buerk. Amazingly, no PTSD from entering his office! Of course, this time we had valium and motrin on board ahead of time. Bree did so good-she only cried when he went to mold the new casts. Dr. Buerk was very happy with her left foot correction and right knee but said her right foot was going to be harder to manipulate with the casts. Bottom line: may end up doing the soft tissue surgery sooner as opposed to later if the casting isn't going to remold that foot. Regardless, she has to have at least 3-4 sets of casts to stretch her soft tissues, skin etc. He also said there would not be any need to do surgery on her knee. Bree's spirts following this casting have been incredibly better-she has played, napped and pretty much acted normal. We have casted out and refused any pain and accept only healing in the name of our Lord. Psalm 107:20
We have a busy weekend ahead of us. Saturday all of my awesome partners and staff (friends!!) at work are having a party to welcome Bree. Sunday is her baptism with another party being hosted by our Gesu friends (family!!). Doug and I cannot express the gratitude, blessings, love, care and concern we have for all of you out there who have supported us and prayed for and with us. God Bless

It sounds as though God has heard your prayers in regard to Bree's knee and feet. What great news about her knee especially!
It must have been a warm and memorable weekend last weekend. How special it is that there were so many celebrations. It is very exciting!
Good luck this week with the casts. I will continue to keep my fingers crossed for more good news.
Take care.
Love and prayers,
Donna, Patrick and Lily
Okay. You a SUPER mom. I'm amazed at what all you've gone thru in such a short period of time. Honestly, I've been so whipped...my prayers have been quite short statements of confessions.
Tracy -- Off topic: Your plate is full, but do you have any suggestions for how to find the best doctor to do surgery on Emily's eyes -- ptosis? Asian folks really recommend an Asian dr. b/c of understanding how Asian skin scars, etc. I'm searching for ANY advice. I'd go out of state if necessary. How HORRIBLE of me to ask you this when you are consumed with your own medical concerns w/Bree -- not to mention the rest of your life.
Thinking of you all.
Love, Vicki
