New Shoes!

It's been 10 months since Lexi wore a pair of shoes, and last week she picked out new shoes! After trying on three pairs of shoes that "hurt" her foot, she found the right pair. When the saleswoman took that pair of shoes out of the box, Lexi's reaction was sooo cute! Her eyes got really big, she smiled and said "Mom, these shoes are perfect! They are so beautiful!" She loves wearing them.

Lexi riding her bike for the first time since her fixator was removed. Strong legs!!

The walking part is a little slow going, but that is to be expected right now. Lexi still likes to be carried around, and use her walker most of the time. But, she improves a little bit each day....we are so proud of her!

No More Cast!

Lexi had x-rays taken last week, and Dr. Standard gave the OK to remove the cast for good!

It has been a bit tough for Lexi to let go of her cast though, as it has made her feel secure when walking. Lexi had physical therapy today for the first time without her cast, and made tremendous progress (standing and walking independently!), thanks to Lexi's wonderful physical therapist, Melissa!

Lexi still has a lot of work to do....PT and stretches/exercises at home, but she's progressing quite well.

We go back to Baltimore sometime in September for follow-up and to see how the 8-plate is doing that is on her knee.

Here are some pics...
