Straight

Molly with our beloved friend 'like a daughter' Rachel who will be having scoliosis surgery next month!  Molly believes she is braver because she went first!


Wow. Saw xrays today and our Molly is so much straighter!  It is pretty amazing to see the difference!  In 10 hours she went from 56 degrees on top and 86 degrees on bottom to 34 and 45 degrees! 
Pain kicked in last night about 11:15 pm and she finally fell into a good sleep about 5:00 am.  Thank you versed.  This of course was just in time for morning labs, Dr. calls, and rounds. :)  No sleep for this mama.
We were then casted for back brace....thank you valium. She was not a happy person at that point but  blue butterflies to match her blue butterfly leg braces made her smile shine. Hopefully the brace will be temporary until her body heals fully from the surgery. We then moved rooms, a praise, we are out of ICU and stats are great!  Prayer for continued lung function, pain management, and no infection!
Thank you for all the prayers and encouragement and LOVE!  We have definitely felt loved and wrapped in our Father's grace!
Today was a long day but our sweetie is resting now.
Goodnight from our new home A336!

  1. Mo,
    This was the first thing I saw this am.
    Such a cute picture of them.
    Sounds like things are progressing as they should. glad you are out of ICU. Hopefully it will be less chaotic and you will finally get some needed and well-deserved rest. We won't stop praying! Have a good day!
