Ayla update 9-2-10

Hi friends,
I've been trying to sit down and send an update for the last few days. Finally a moment.
Ayla and I had a long day at the hospital and doctors office monday. She had her anastetia consult, xray and appt for her femur break, and then a pre op appt with her pediatrician.
She was cleared by the orthopedic surgeon for her femur break. She's free to do whatever at therapy now as far as weight bearing goes. He wants to see her in a year to make sure that the growth plate hasn't shifted and all is still well (the break was really near the growth plate). I asked him if he noticed any difference in bone density from June to now and there is no difference. No weaker no stronger from what he can tell.
The other 2 appts for her surgery on Friday went well and quickly. We actually had a pretty good day as dreading it as i was. Praise God for that:)
I heard back from the Rhuematologist about Ayla seeing the endocrinologist in London. She said that he recommended a few more test through bloodwork (which we will get done next week) and then they will call us with an appt for Ayla...which will be several weeks. I'm not very impressed about "several" weeks because we all know that's anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months. I've been praying and am going to do some pushing on that. She is falling daily and i feel like it's just a matter of time if her bones are improving that something else is going to happen. I pray every day sofr the Lord to cushion her falls.
There isn't any way i can get her not to fall. No amount of hovering will help when she is just tripping over her own feet (much like a toddler does when they learn how to walk). It's just part of the way it is.
Tomorrow (friday) she has surgery on her teeth. It's quite extensive...her teeth are much like her bones. The anestitist (who was so very kind) said he would give her an oral sedative before they brought her down to surgery, so she wouldn't be too traumatized. Ryan and i are a bit nervous b/c last time she had surgery, they "forgot" to come and get us when she was out. We were not impressed when after and hour of a surgery that would take 20 minutes no one had come to get us. Ryan walked right into the OR and said, "where is my daughter?" "oh...she's been out for a while..." So we are going to do what we can to make sure that doesn't happen tomorrow.
Anyway, i guess that's all the update for now. We are praying the surgery goes well tomorrow with no complications and we'll be home in the afternoon.

God Bless you all! Enjoy your labour day weekend!
