Shriners Hospital Visit # 6

Today, Laura got to try on her very first  prostheic leg, so our prosthetist,  could  make some adjustments. The good news is Laura is healing from her surgery nicely and we are one day closer to Laura walking! The bad news is, we need to go back again next week for an addtional fitting. The prosthetist is unsure if she can find some smaller parts needed so that Laura will have a bendable knee. Laura's entire right leg is a tiny bit longer then her left leg at the knee. Laura may need to grow another inch or two before a prosthetic knee can be used. She will still have a prosthetic leg but the first one just wouldn't bend. We will learn more at next weeks visit.

Here we are waiting for our appointment.

Laura checking out her new foot!

First, we put on a long white sock and then we began trying on all the leg parts.

Looking to see if her leg went all the way in and how the top of her leg fit.

Mrs. Jenn attached the lower leg.



Look at her! Wow Laura! You are amazing! I have dreamed about you walking in your very own prosthetic leg, and here we are so close to making all our dreams come true! God is so good!

Laura said, "I have two legs!"



Thank you to Laura's wonderful Aunt Larissa, our photographer and videographer.
