5th set of cast ...

We went in today and didn't see Dr. Capehart because he was out of town. They took off the cast and her feet looked GREAT!!! I believe with all my heart that my baby will walk and she will not have any handicaps. She is a strong baby and I know that she is special.

I did better today with these castings ... I cried last week and got a bit upset. :o) Seeing her little feet straight made it all worth the money, time, tears and hardships today! She hates her castings but she will love us one day.

Cam, the guy that does her casting, says she says baby cuss words at him under her binky. I am sure she would if she could talk.

7/19/10

Megyn's feet still has no change. Her little feet spent 3 weeks in these cast because of the 4th of July holiday and her being in the hospital. Dr. Capehart said he still didn't know if we would have surgery but that we will start above the knee casting on 8/2/10. :o)

Megyn is feeling much better after her hospital stay and we are adjusting to life again or trying to.

Megyn's feet ... you can see that the right one is still turned in a bit.

At the hospital ...

UPDATE ON MEGYN IN THE HOSPITAL

Megyn was admitted to Saint Francis Children's Hospital in Tulsa, OK on July 6. 2010. She was running a fever, throwing up, was only taking 1/2 oz at her feedings which were every 5 to 6 hours. To me I knew this wasn't right and kept on the doctor until going to Tulsa Pediatrics Ergent Care. The doctor there admitted her right away.

The testing was the hardest on her, mommy and daddy. They did a lumbar puncture, took blood and did a UA. They also cultured the test to see if anything grew in them.We were told we could go home in 48 hours if nothing grew. Well ... something grew, she has two different types of bacteria in her urine!!! She has a UTI but you wouldn't think that that would cause her to feel so BAD!!! They ran a few other test to see why she has a UTI bacause it is uncommon for a baby this young to have one.

We are now on day seven and should get to go home on Saturday, July 16. It will be nice to be back in our apartment and in our beds and have the family all together again. Megyn is perking up and feeling much better we think.

On Friday night we had them weigh her and she gained 5 oz in just two days after having the antibiotics. I can't wait to see what she has gained the whole time. She has also started eating 2 1/2 to 3 oz every time she eats. She is also more alert and seems to like to watch television. She still has her cast on and we will get those removed and have new ones put on as soon as we get out of here.

We would like to thank every one for your support, love, kindness, time, prayers, gifts, food and friendship. We are blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives and couldn't ask for more.
