Zzzzzz....

One more test done on the road to an anterior/posterior spinal fusion:

Sleep study went great for nearly the entire night until 4 am when Kenzie's sats went down and the nurse was required to turn on the oxygen.  I've known that she has had mild issues with apnea lately so the required sleep study came at a good time.  I'm hoping we won't have to have oxygen at home since her early morning wanderings include time with mom and dad in bed and trips to the living room to use her talker to wake-up the rest of the family!  

I just imagine all of us in our jammies hung up on a clothes line around the house!  If I didn't have my humor I'm certain I'd be under six feet of dirt by now!

Great News!

The gait analysis determined Kenzie should have freedom in her hips and they would suggest NOT anchoring the hardware of her spinal fusion into her pelvis!!! I'm thrilled she will be able to maintain that movement, I'm convinced she will be able to overcome the rest with no problem but felt she really needed that little bit of rotation to do it! Yippee!

This weekend is her sleep study, the next step on our way.
