Perfectly Able: Success
http://perfectlyable.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-post.html
Tuesday, March 3, 2009. The surgery lasted four hours. Richard and I spent the majority of the time in the waiting room with Tracey and her mom. We were so grateful for their company and the distraction! He is in a petrie cast (long-leg casts with a stabilizing bar between) complete with cow print! We extend our gratitude to all of you who have kept Evan and our family in your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate each and every one of you! Evan is such a trooper! His cow cast is super cute! Valerie a frie...

Perfectly Able: Out early for good behavior. . .
http://perfectlyable.blogspot.com/2009/04/out-early-for-good-behavior.html
Friday, April 3, 2009. Out early for good behavior. . . I know, I know. I have done a terrible job updating. And I can't even blame it on being busy providing for of all of Evan's wants and needs because, quite frankly, this surgery and recovery has been, (dare I say it), a breeze! Evan with the birthday girl. While he was recovering he also had the chance to go to his first college basketball game, the NCAA play-in game between Morehead State and Alabama. He had such a great time! So, we will be heading...

Perfectly Able: Amazing really. . .
http://perfectlyable.blogspot.com/2009/03/amazing-really.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Amazing really. . . Evan is recovering beautifully from his surgery. I am actually quite amazed at how quickly he has bounced back. As previously mentioned, his surgery went without a hitch. He spent Tuesday night in the PICU for pain management and was transferred to the floor on Wednesday morning on a morphine drip and Valium (while primarily used to treat anxiety, it is also great for muscle spasms). He spent the majority of Wednesday and Thursday sound asleep. Evan has only c...

Perfectly Able: "Look what I can do!"
http://perfectlyable.blogspot.com/2009/02/look-what-i-can-do.html
Friday, February 20, 2009. Look what I can do! Joshua using his walker. Crawling is still his preferred mode of transportation because it is much faster, but now that he has discovered how fun it is to "crash" into things, he is using his walker a lot more! Evan uses a mouth stick to count and sort and to press buttons on the computer. Here he is counting the teddy grahams for the valentines that he made for his preschool class. That walker is INCREDIBLE and Joshua is a pro! And Evan, OH MY GOODNESS!

Sunday, March 8, 2009. We are home. Evan is doing wonderfully. Will post all of the details once we've gotten a good night's sleep. I'm glad the trip went well. Give Evan a squeeze for me. March 8, 2009 at 9:33 PM. Glad to hear it! Hope you get some good rest! March 9, 2009 at 12:39 AM. It's so good to hear that Evan is home and doing well. I hope that he recovers in record time and is able to get out of that "MOO-cast" as soon as possible. March 9, 2009 at 11:14 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Perfectly Able: The results are in. . .
http://perfectlyable.blogspot.com/2009/04/results-are-in.html
Saturday, April 11, 2009. The results are in. . . And Evan's legs look AMAZING! Evan and I traveled to Philadelphia on Thursday and, after another x-ray to confirm that the bones had healed properly and completely, the casts came off on Friday morning! Before and After: The first picture was taken in March 2008 prior to Evan's bilateral clubbed foot repair, serial casting and bilateral femoral osteotomies. The second picture was taken on Friday (4/10/09). Amazing, no! I can still sit! THIS IS SO AWESOME!

Perfectly Able: You are loved
http://perfectlyable.blogspot.com/2009/02/dear-evan-i-can-still-remember-first.html
Friday, February 27, 2009. I can still remember the first time I saw your face. It was like I had just found the final piece of a complicated puzzle. You were no stranger to me. My spirit knew yours and I knew that you were meant to be my son. I could not wait to hold you in my arms and tell you how much I already loved you. You are loved, Evan. You are loved. February 28, 2009 at 8:21 PM. I love Evan, too! Is there anything we can do for you during the surgery? Does Evan need some more cookies? From the...
