my leg is longer


So you remember to good old days when Naomi was 1 and she had this cute purple cast on?

Well today we had our annual check up with our Dr. Cast (Dr. Stotts) at Primary Children's Hospital. I was really hoping for good news but unfortunately we did not. Naomi's left leg just keeps on growing, which makes the hip cup not growing.

So in May she will have to have surgery to stun the growth of her left leg so that they can even up. She is kind of excited about all of this because she gets to have slurpee at the hospital and she gets to have crutches. (What ever makes her happy about this)

I am trying to make this happy for her but really I am dying inside knowing what she has to go through. Sometimes life isn't fair, but I love that she will smile about it and do it because she knows that it will work out.

Please keep her in your prays and have a positive attitude when and if you talk to her.

We will remember you in our prayers. She's got a great attitude. What is her favorite slurpee flavor?

I'm sorry about the bad news! We love Naomi and hope that everything works out for her! It's always hard to watch your kids go through painful things. If there's anything you need I'd love to help out!

She is such a trooper! If only we could be so positive about what happens in life. It is amazing what a great example such a little gal can be to all us older gals! Your whole family will be in our prayers. Let me know if there is anything that we can do for you! We will be first in line to visit at Primary's with a slurpee in hand (and a Dr. Pepper for mom)!

Kaitlyn can't wait for her best friend to be on crutches. She will be the coolest girl in the neighborhood!
