a day in the life...

A little bump in the road.

Things had been progressing pretty well. Last week, Addy had a slight infection surrounding one of the incisions, so they put her on an antibiotic and it is looking much better! But last night she had more swelling and pain surrounding the knee cap, so back to TRIA we went today. They did a follow up MRI and there may be a re-injury to her meniscus. We are hoping and praying it's just a slight issue and can resolve itself, but we have an email out to her surgeon and a follow up scheduled with a surgeon here on Friday (making sure all the eyes that need to see the imaging can before then). Sweet girl has been so brave through all of this! On a positive note, there doesn't seem to be an infection inside the knee and her "ACL" looks great!

Crazy excited!

We took her remaining strips off her incisions tonight and she was just a little bit excited! She is healing well, but time is moving slowly for her: We are entering week 3 of physical therapy and she is excited to get to add some exercises to the schedule. Thank you all for all the prayers and support!

Peter's mini vacation (or a giant one)!

Nana took Peter to visit Fenway park during Addy's first appointment. He thought it was pretty awesome! (He even got to wear a World Series ring!)

And Peter and daddy got to go see the Wild beat the Bruins! (Thank you so much, nana and grampa!!!!)

Home sweet home

We made it home. The flights went really well and we came home to our favorite meal- potato dumplings! (And fresh, rearranged beds, ice for Addy's special ice "machine"- thanks to grandma and pop pop and yummy groceries and desserts from auntie Jess, uncle Ryan and Olly! And Addy is LOVING her new emoji pillow from nana- she is loving sleeping in the "throne!")

We are so grateful for all the prayers, messages, texts, treats- all the support during the last week! Words cannot express how grateful we are! She has been quite a trooper, and despite a few little moments, she is determined to feel better and to be mobile soon!

MN here we come!

We are all loaded and waiting for take off! It was a bit of a three ring circus getting on, but we are ready! Looking forward to being home.

We got the go head to fly home!

We had her follow up appointment today and everything looks great! She actually loved seeing her knee. Dressings came off! All that's left: ace bandage, crylo cuff (fancy ice pack) and brace. So much better. Thank you for all the prayers and support! We would love prayers for patience, anxiety and smooth traveling for her tomorrow. Thank you!!!!
