Thursday was a busy day for the Richey Family, we had another appointment at Cleveland Clinic, a visit with Grandpa Inks, a visit with Grammy Tracy, and a walk to the park. Our appointment at Cleveland Clinic went great! We are no longer turning the keys!! So that is one less fight I have to deal with each day!! O wait let me back up a little bit, Monday Claire was just standing and watching TV and fell face first! Scared me and her very much! She cried and cried and her right hand became swollen by her wrist, at first I thought she may have broke her wrist, but luckily that didn't happen. Her right hand was starting to puss and scab so I called her Dr. and thought there might be an infection, so they put her on antibiotics just to make sure. So back to Thursday, we had a good appointment. He thought everything looked great! We are only going every 2 weeks now! Yay! We will be going to D.C. with no problems this coming Thursday! I asked how long the extenders would be on and Dr. Bill said that probably around 2 months, so we are looking at early or mid June for our next surgery, which will be to just take off the extenders and possibly cut back some skin. All is great to hear!! I just want her to be able to enjoy the summer and be able to get wet! So after the good news we left Beachwood and headed to Kingston to see Grandpa Inks. He is being a real trooper and hanging in there! He lights up every time he sees Claire so we try to get in there to see him as much as we can. Then to Grammy's where Claire decided she was ready to walk again! She was zipping here and there and very careful when she would fall, she shoves her butt back so she falls on her butt. Although the first time she went head first she put her hands out so she landed on her face and chest. A smart cookie, I am sure!! Then we took Claire to the park, which she loves! She loves the swing and slide! She greets everyone she sees now with a "Hi" we were telling her she should be the greeter for the doctor's office or Walmart, who knows?! We have been without Fredpa this whole week and we survived! He has been in Florida visiting Aunt Joey, I am sure he has been having tons of fun and will have many stories to share! We had a play date with Claire's friend Emma today and was tons of fun! Emma is one of my best friend's little girl who is turning 2! We have a birthday party to go to tomorrow! Emma did really good with Claire and her hands I didn't have her covers on and I was really impressed.
