Tonight I write a bitter-sweet blog. Last evening, my Nana went to be with the Lord at 94 years old. She was such a beautiful and godly women and will definitely be missed. However, it is reassuring knowing that she is in the presence of the Lord, and one day we will see her again. On another note, our sweet Selah Grace is three months old today. We saw the orthopedic doctor two weeks ago, and Selah finally got her cast off. She had an ultrasound of her hip and x-rays of her foot, and the doctor said that they both looked really good. He was surprised at how well her hip has healed, due to the fact that he thought she might not have the nerve innervation to the muscles that hold her hip in the socket. We are now praying that the hip dysplasia does not relapse and that she would have the muscle control to keep her hip in the socket. She is still in a harness while sleeping for her hip, and she now has Mitchell shoes with a Ponseti bar that she wears to keep her foot in the correct position.
Selah's next appointment is with her neurosurgeon, the day before thanksgiving. She will have rapid MRI done before the appointment. We are praying for complete healing of her brain and perfect function of her shunt! I will add pictures tomorrow!
