Proud of herself and Ortho appointment update

At the end of school, a couple of weeks ago, I was talking to Megan's teacher and she told me that Megan had taught one of the other little girls in the room to play with dolls.  Megan was the only child who would play with the dolls for most of the year but the last couple of months she taught another little girl so they could play together.  I was telling Will about this while Megan was with us and she got the biggest smile on her face and then clapped for herself.  She understood what I was telling him and that we were proud of her so she was proud of herself.

Megan had her follow-up ortho appointment last week to look at her trigger finger and her braces.  Unfortunately her finger has gotten to the point of hurting her and is getting stuck worse and worse so we were informed that surgery was her only option.  We were told we could wait a couple of months but since it is hurting her we decided to do it as soon as possible.  She is scheduled for June 20th.  The surgery is normally done with just a local but since Megan won't hold still they will have to put her under.  Her finger will need to remain bandaged for 3-4 days or until she manages to get it off.

The doctor was impressed with Megan's ankle alignment.  He said that when she outgrows her current pair of orthotics that we will downgrade her once again, this time to a pair that goes below her ankles so that all it is doing is keeping her feet straight.  After that pair she should be done with the support all together.
