"It's been awhile ... "

that's what someone told me the other day. I know and I apologize ... we haven't posted anything for awhile -- 18 days to be exact. Also, it's been just over 4 weeks since her last surgery.

Here are some details from our last meeting with her surgeon -- basically she has been "excused" from P.E. class for the next year. She is not supposed to do anything that she has a risk of "falling" (i.e., swings, slides, monkey bars, biking, etc.). Luckily we have a great teacher and she has been able to "modify" some things for Sydney ... she has a box of magnet toys, dolls, legos, etc. that she can play with while the other kids are on the playground. Usually the teacher has to limit the amount of kids that Sydney has around her because it seems like a lot of her friends (especially the girls) would rather play with her and "keep her company" than run around on the playground.

Anyways, she has been going to school without missing a beat. We would like to get her involved in some extracurricular activity, but of course we can't do the things that most little girls want to do (like gymnastics, dance, etc.). Any ideas?!?

Sydney continues to be a STRONG little girl. She never complains about her back and amazes us day-in and day-out.

Thank you for the never ending support!
