Portland, Take Two

Sierra and I flew into Portland yesterday so she could follow up with the surgeon here and begin work on her prosthesis. She had a great time on the airplane, wasn't afraid at all, and we made it here with no bumps
( besides a bit of turbulence). We hung out at the Shriners hospital yesterday, watching TV and playing in their playroom. We are lucky that they have rooms onsight for folks who come in from out of town, so we can stay on premesis and not have to worry about paying for a hotel, and we are blessed to have famiy in the area to shuttle us to and from the airport . (thank you Uncle Monty and Aunt Penny, and Auntie Missy).
This morning Sierra met with Dr. Krajbich, who did her surgery, and he is very pleased with her result. Her Xrays show that her bone is fully healed and she is now cleared to begin weight bearing. Of course, that will be a bit hard until she has a prosthesis to work with, but we are going to start working with her to put some weight on that side to ready her for when her prosthesis is complete. She was molded for her prosthesis today as well, she wasn't incredibly happy with the process, since they wrapped her fully to her thigh, and it was a bit uncomfortable, but she soldiered through like she always does. We were lucky to attend and activity day her as well today, they had crafts and music and games for the kids,  and a lunch for the parents. And all of the kids were given a build a bear, Sierra's is a pink flowery bear with a black and blue shimmery dress. She really loves it, I just hope I can fit all of the new things she is getting in our luggage on the way home.
