And we're back

Well we have been on a whirlwind of a month but we are back from 2 trips to Omaha. I am mentally drained, physically exhausted and down right tired of OI. But Caroline has proven to us once again that she is the bravest girl we will ever know.
Her surgery was a huge success. 13 days after surgery her splint came off and 15 days after surgery she attempted walking with her new walker. She definitely needs to practice on the walker some more, but considering where we were a few weeks ago, no complaints here! And we are so proud of her!
Caroline and I also went back to Omaha for clinic. All the doctors were extremely pleased with how well she has been doing! She is gaining weight and height. All 4 long bones in her legs are rodded, PAM will be continued, we need to do more physical therapy and hopefully we won't be back to Omaha for another year.
5 trips to Omaha in 1 year is 4 too many!

I know I am missing a lot of info, but I am just so tired of talking about OI and Caroline's latest breaks.
She had a great birthday. And both Caroline and Robert were the cutest at Halloween.
Caroline was a lambie and Robert was a pumpkin. Web and I count our blessings every day.
We want to thank you all for your continuing prayers and positive thoughts!
Love to all!
