Ayla 6-23-10

Hi everyone. Ayla is doing alright. Her moods change quickly through out the day...i can't imagine how frustrating it must be for her. But she will say "this leg walk and this one broken, i walk soon). We went for xrays this mornign and the brace/cast hybrid is holding it in place fine and we'll go back in 2 weeks for another follow up. Thank God it's holding properly. We had her in this morning also for some alterations on her cast/brace. We had the other legs put on (not a cast) but the foam part (i'll have to post a pic) just b/c the brace was twisting and we didn't want it to hurt her leg more. So while it's good it will hold it more steady...it's wayyyy more difficult to change her and dress her. It was before, but now more so. Luckily i tried it there so he modified it a bit and it made it a bit easier. She fights with me any time it's time to get dressed, sometimes a very long battle. Everything is really more challenging now that it even was before b/c she only has limited movement in her leg. Like she can't sit at a 90 degree angle, which means she can't sit on the coutner and help me cook, which she used to do every night since she got sick and just became something fun we both love. We got her a new wheel chair b/c the other one was nearly impossible to get in and out of my car. This one is a bit small which is nice. She will be back at preschool next week (monday) and hopefully that will help some. She isn't sleeping well at night at all, awake 3-5 times. The social worker came out monday and we are going to get some help physically and emotionally for all of us. Praise God for that. Ezra has been fine this week. Ryan's parents have stayed down to help which we are all so greatful for. I'm not sure how i could keep it all together without their help. Anyways, that's all for now. Just a quick update so you all know what's going on. Thanks for all of you for praying and supporting us.
