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.

Glow Little Glow Worm!!

I was so proud of how Kenzie "performed" for her gait analysis today! This is the first of many many tests preceding her anterior/posterior spinal fusion surgery. In an effort to maintain a balance of flexibility and repair, the gait analysis will help the doctor determine the best course of surgery for Kenzie. With all the reflective balls attached to her she looked like she just may be starring in the next high tech video game! She did all of her very best "tricks." Laps back and forth with her walker, climbing into her wheelchair unassisted and turning herself around, and some crawling too.
