Update from Hand Doctor

Emma went to the hand specialist at Vanderbilt today and as we suspected there is little that can be done for her hands. If she wants prosthetics in the future then that will be the plan, but that will be left up to her and as he put it today, they would probably only get in her way. I suspect that is right. I was very pleased with the doctor.

We will be seeing a foot specialist is December. Perhaps by then she will be over the trauma of being xrayed. What a drama queen!

We met my friend Wendy and her mom for lunch today after our doctor's apt. and Emma proceeded to eat french fries. Well, she didn't exactly chew them, but she did swallow several of them whole. That should be pretty on the other end of the spectrum:) She picked the fries up and put them in her mouth by herself. I think she was just trying to impress our friends. She's a ham!

With love of the wonderful family Emma has, she can and will do wonders. Where there is a will, a way will be found. God bless you.
