As the date for our level 2 ultrasound is just a couple weeks away, I'm getting increasingly nervous. Although doctors have told me this sweet unborn baby has the same chances of being born without any concerns as any other baby, I'm still nervous. The upcoming ultrasound brings back many emotions of that first ultrasound we had when pregnant with Hannah. Those were such difficult days....difficult months. YET, I'd be sorely remiss to only think on those difficult days and not dwell on the amazing days. Our Hannah has come so far. Not only is she walking (free from that pretty pink brace she first wore on her left leg), but she's running, jumping, climbing, riding her tricycle, dancing....She's an amazing little girl with an amazing big brother who encourages her and challenges her along the way.
Thinking of those very first steps still brings tears of joy to my eyes. Hannah was one and half years old when she took those first steps by herself....only 5 months after her surgery and only 4 months after getting her first prosthetic leg. I'll never forget that day.....
(You may want to pause the music at the bottom of this page so you can hear Hannah's giggles of joy....please excuse my squeals and high-pitched voice of excitement :)
I recently found your blog and it has been really encouraging. My daughter Anna also has FH in her left leg. We are pursuing the route of amputation. I can relate to so many of the feelings you describe and am thankful for your love for God and your daughter. Our blog is www.lisaelaine4.blogspot.com if you want to visit.
Hi! I found your blog from Lisa's blog (she commented above). My son is 8 months, has FH, and we, too, have chosen amputation. We don't know when it will happen yet, but it will be in the next year or so. Anyway, just wanted to say hi. Reading your blog and seeing your little girl makes me smile. And the video of her walking with her first prosthetic leg...got me crying. It gives me more confidence of a very bright future that my little boy has to look forward to. :) You can check out our little boy's blog, if you'd like, at: www.dylanslegjourney.blogspot.com
