Isabella also read her books a bit and on Saturday, she and Jeremy hit the last day at Cooper. She crashed and had a beauty mark near her eye to show for it. Jeremy said she hit face first and popped up laughing.
The picture is of Isabella posing on our front porch. You can see a bit of snow still hanging around on the North side of the house.
We came home on Saturday evening so I could have Sunday to do my chores.
Sunday it was 85 degrees. Sam could only stay out for 20 minutes or so. She was bragging that she had a tan line when she came in.
Tuesday we met with the prosthetist and got a smaller compression sock. Samantha's limb is looking great!
On Wednesday she had her stitches out and we got the OK to cast her socket. She is in 7th Heaven!
She is down to only having to take her nerve medicine (helps with the phantom pain) and her antibiotics. She no longer needs Advil or any other pain medicine. I think this is the first time in over 4 years that Samantha has been able to wake up and not need pain medicine. How fantastic is that!!
I will see if I can get some pictures of the casting process. Then next week we go back in and she will see her new leg.
If she is healed up and her scabs (she has a couple still hanging on after her surgery) fall off then she can start walking on April 16th. At first she will wear the prosthetic only a couple hours a day and work up to wearing it all day.
The Sun is back after a bit of snow on Wednesday and it matches the atmosphere in our home. Everyone is happy.
I will continue to post and include as many pictures as I can.
Love to everyone!
