Cart Before The Squee

The cart is back and has been modified! It no longer tips over, thanks to the addition of a wheel in the front crossbeam. It's a tad awkward, though I will say the little pillar poking up from the front does make it much harder for Squee to squirm out of the cart. She's not too sure about it, yet, but I think with some time and practice, this will be a way for her to get around until her surgery.

Which brings us to... Squee's recheck. She went back to see the specialist today, and it was great news. Her leg has fully healed from the infection, and the doctor feels that we are back on track for reconstructive surgery! We're going to leave her leg unsplinted, and unless further complications arise, Squee won't be back to see him again until she's six months old (which will be in mid-January). I am to monitor her weight, weekly, between now and then, and if her growth is tapering off, we can perform the surgery in January. If she's still growing like crazy, we'll have to wait a little longer.

Thank you so much, everyone who kept Squee in their thoughts and prayers, and thank you to Karon Stewart and Lucy Franco, once again, for the cart! Please keep spreading the word and encouraging folks to donate. We may be looking at a surgery in January, and we're a bit less than a third of the way there. I'm hoping we can still get the funds raised by the time she's ready for surgery!
