DISCLAIMER: Not for the weak stomach!


Hooray!! Paige has been officially released from all medical treatment on these feet! Dr. Santora says the surgery was a complete success and he doesn't need to see her again until October for follow-up. He recommended that we put her into "anything" physical to get her movin' those tootsies...so she has started jazz and tumbling with thoughts of playing Herriman Baseball this Spring. She is required to have nightly Vitamin E and Aloe lotion massage with Mederma (scar-reducing cream...we'll see if it's more than a gimmick). They are also in the process of making her some silicone inserts to apply pressure to her scars in hopes of making them less bulky. (similar to what burn-victims wear), but we are still waiting for them to be made. We are so glad to have her feeling better, however we already miss the handicapped parking.

YAY Brooke! They look so good! Glad things can start to get back to normal. (What IS Normal anyway???!?!) I've never had NORMAL be apart of my life!

Tavia swears by Mederma. It worked wonders for her scars on her knee!
