Hannah's last appointment at Shriners Hospital went beautifully! They did additional x-rays of both her legs and were very pleased with the results. Her x-rays 6 months ago showed that both her legs were bowing, with her right leg (the one in which she wears the prosthesis) being more severe. Her current x-rays show much improvement. The design of the new prosthesis she received back in March has aided in the straightening of her right leg!! Yay!! We are so excited about this news. This means there is less possibility she will need additional surgery to correct her bowing when she gets older. Unless problems arise, the clinical team does not need to see her back for another year!!!
Additional great news is that Hannah grew taller! Her prosthetist lengthened her prosthesis 1/4 inch. I am so thrilled with this. It may not seem like much, but I'm thrilled anytime she shows signs of getting taller. Because she has Fibular Hemimelia in her left leg as well, that leg will (more than likely) be shorter than it would under "normal" circumstances. So, my heart tends to celebrate with each little sign of growth :)
Our little girl is growing and thriving! I am continually humbled and amazed by God's grace of which we are truly undeserving.
