Big Girl had a visit to Shriner's hospital on Thursday. This was to be a regular check of her spine and we suspected a new brace would have to be made as she had grown so much it no longer fit well.
After a looonnnggg wait we finally saw the doctor. I can never figure out why it takes 2 hours to see the doctor when he only comes in the room for 2 minutes!
The great news is her spine is completely straight for now and she gets to take a 6 month break from her brace. She'll have to go back for x-rays in 6 months and may have to go back to bracing if her spine curves again.
She was ecstatic but she and dad were mad at me for giving the brace to the doctor to recycle...they had big plans for a bonfire. (You see why I was so anxious to leave it in Portland).
We had a celebration dinner at Joe's Crab Shack...a pretty fun place to eat. We went to our hotel looking forward to a trip to the coast the next day. Our plans were quickly changed when we got a call from our alarm company.
We came home to find our basement had been broken into. Luckily, the alarm scared them off and nothing was taken. There was no damage. Very scary, though.
We are now proud owners of a handgun and lessons are in my near future. I'm sure I'll be a natural. I was pretty good at duck hunt on my playstation back in the day.
Today Big Girl is auditioning for a part in the Ballet Company's production of Cinderella. Hopefully, later today we will have some more good news!
