monkey feet...baby steps...

Before we knew about Maddie's condition, we noticed how incredibly long her toes were. We imagined her rock climbing with us when she was older and hanging from her toes from holds. The doctors assured us that once she's recovered, she'll be just a normal kid and will be able to do all the things any kid her age can do, including rock climbing.

Since her surgery, she's gotten two monitors & a drainage tube removed and is slowly being weaned off of the meds and the ventilator. Three down...still many more to go.
