The story

Eden was born with a congenital birth defect - her left thigh bone does not grow properly. This summer, she is undergoing a limb lengthening procedure at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, MD through the Rubin Institute. It is an approx 6 month process. Chris and I are grateful for everyone's well wishes, and want to do our best to keep you all informed, so we decided to create this blog. It will also be a way for us to document this process and one day we will show it to Eden and she will know, she can conquer anything.

GAME ON

lengthening has begun. The bone was broken (yes, on purpose) and a fixator was attached. We turn a scrw 4 times a day, which will expand the leg 1mm per day. We are hoping to get 70 mm, so will do this for 70 days....

We still leave the fixator on for 2/3 months to allow support while the bone hardens, then another surgery to remove it....
Your calls, texts, emails, facebook messages have given us so much support, we thank you!!

Can't wait to show Eden one day how much she is loved by all.
