Pretty feet!

We went in today to get Cast #4 for McKenna and Dr. Herring was just amazed! He said that her feet look wonderful and he didn't feel she needed anymore casts! He said her flexibility was amazing and that she didn't need the tenotomy (her Achilles tendon cut) or anymore casts and he felt it was time to move her on to the boots and bars!! Chris and I were both fighting tears when we heard this. Dr. Herring said she set a new Olympic record for the clinic of being corrected in only 3 casts!! Before her, the least amount of casts used for correction was 4. She is an AmAzInG little person! She is progressing so quickly it's just so wonderful. She will wear the Boots and Bars for about 3-4 months 22 1/2 hours a day and then 12 hours a day (so, technically nighttime and naps) until she's 3 or 4 years old. She will be a normal kid who can run and play and that makes us so happy. Way to go, Kenna Bug! We are love you and are so proud of you!!

Wow! You don't know me, I came to your blog from Hilary Atkinson's so I hope you don't care that I'm commenting. We used to live in Dallas too while my husband went to Chiro school. What a journey you've been through with your little one! She is so brave! I can't believe how great her feet look! What a special little girl! It's hard sometimes to understand God's will isn't it? But you are all doing an amazing job! She is adorable!
