| Bone chart marking 6 cm. |
Mary has had a rough week battling headaches, and stomachaches along with her normal lengthening daily battles. I will admit it hasn't been as bad as when she had the additional strut on her leg to keep her leg straight 24/7. That was a long 17 days where she could never get comfortable.
At first I was confident the headaches and stomachaches stemmed from her lack of sleep but then we weren't sure if it was related to the medicine she has been taking or just a regular bug. Her pediatrician leaned towards a bug. I am sure she has lost even more weight.
Tuesday will be the 6 day countdown until we are done at (hopefully) 6.6 cm. Our ultimate goal was 7 cm and .4 may sound like its nothing so why not go for it when you are so close? The answer is just like when I ran a Marathon years ago and my hubby said what's 4 more miles after 22 miles? The fact is it's 4 more miles AFTER 22 miles!!!
The body can only take so much before you probably do more damage than good. And we should celebrate that we will be getting 6.6. Not too shabby. That will leave her with a cm. difference vs. 7.5 cm. difference.
We are anxiously waiting confirmation for the date she will get her top ring and foot plates off. We are hoping in 9 days. We will have 132 days of consolidating after we stop lengthening but we think the hardest phase will be over then. Of course what do we know :-)
