Loser

yeah, i know already. it has been a while. my plan was to get Amy to make the next post, but not enough people said they wanted to hear from her to get her to post. ok, not really. she is still pretty busy. she claims that there is a light at the end of the tunnel soon.

anyway, i wanted to let people know that we had a our visit to the Shriner's Hospital in Lexington and saw the pediatric orthopedist. he was very pleased with the surgery and with Natalie's progress. he did say that the rate of reoccurance for club foot is about 30% so we still need to be vigilant. they want us to have her wear the brace during the night for as long as she is cool with it or a year if she doesn't complain. Natalie is a trooper though and doesn't really let it get to her. even when she swings it all over the crib. she has even cut back on the whining when it goes on.

we are really looking forward to tomorrow by the way. we are having dinner with some new friends. this couple and their daughter traveled to China about a week ahead of us to add a beautiful young girl to their family as well. this will be the first time Natalie gets to meet her, we hope, new life long friend. it would be really great for the two of them to see each other and to see that there are families out there that look a lot like their own. :)
