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.

Almost done


Well, I went back to work. So working full time, taking care of the family and Eden's PT does not leave much time for updates. There has not been much going on, so I have been remiss on updates. Work is going great. Eden is doing great. Life is hectic, but what is new. The fixator care adds a bit of strain, but we are all good.

Yesterday we had an x-ray done of Eden's new bone. We are mailing it to Dr Standard and he will determine when the fixator can come off. best case is in a month. So I am doing this update to ask you all to please cross fingers, say prayers, send good thoughts, do or say what ever it is you believe in - BECAUSE WE ARE READY FOR THE FIXATOR TO BE OFF.

Thanks to you all for the encouragement, we know you are with us!

    From what I can see in the little xray, the bone looks great! Here's to gittin' that sucker off! :) Good thoughts and prayers being sent your way. Way to go, Eden (and mom)!
