Ask me what I'm doing August 19th!

The last two weeks we have been staying busy with our routine of physical therapy, tummy time, casting, bone stimulator machine and Sundays full of movies and Taco Bell. We also got out of said routine with a getaway to the Baltimore Zoo and Zackary is officially on summer break from school so there has been no math, English or homework since last week. I've yet to hear any complaints about that one. We had a great time at the zoo as you can tell from the pictures below and it helped pass the time after getting not such great news at the last appointments.

But now it's been two weeks so of course we've had another appointment, xrays and all. The doctor tried to use another baseball analogy to tell me how close we were to going home but I just looked at him. (ask anyone who truly knows me how much I love baseball. Insert eye roll here) Then he said we were at 7cm, only 1 cm away from total length! That's HUGE for us! So then the drumroll went off in my head and I asked to magic question of what rate of growth we were going to be at for the last centimeter. His response was mind blowing... stay at 3 times a day. That means we will be completely done lengthening in 2 weeks! TWO WEEKS!!! Home is in our sights! Once we are done lengthening we have to stay another week to finish up PT here but then we will be free. So again I say, ask me what I am doing August 19th and my answer will be driving home! Home for good, home to my family, home to life! Life will be our 'normal' with physical therapy, pills, bone stimulating machines and continued xrays but it will all be done at home. Every night we will be sleeping in our beds, eating at our dinner table and rubbing on our puppy every day! So three weeks from tomorrow we will be saying goodbye to our home in Baltimore. No tears here with this goodbye! So yes, great news. Final news. And we will continue to keep you updated on how smooth the last month or so will go. Thanks for the continued support and encouragement over the last month we have out here. Now my question to you, what are you doing on August 19th? If you're not too busy do mind saying a prayer for safe travels for our 28 hour journey home?! Thanks in advance.

Until next time,
Momma Miller
