Claire had her surgery yesterday in Cleveland and it was a success. She has two soft casts on her hands and they did a skin graft on her groin so that has been the biggest obstacle for us. She is running around today and being really good, we are so blessed! Aug 5th the casts come off and she will be free! We will throw a big party. We have been a busy so I havent been able to update the blog as much as I would have liked! We had a busy end of June and beginning of July. We watched Ralphy (grammy Tracy's dog) at the end of june because they went to Uncle Bryan's Graduation. Then we had Nana and Aunt Katie and Collin in town for a wedding so we got to spend some time with them too! Then we had July 4th! we sold the truck and got a new car! July 4th we went to a few parties and then to Grammys and Grandpa J's for fireworks. Claire fell asleep and missed out but there's always next year. July 5th we had Chloe and Aunt Danielle fly in from D.C. and we had a good time. Claire had some issues with jealousy and Chloe touching her. I don't know if it was her hands, teeth or both. Hopefully the next time we see them hopefully she will be ok with hugs and kisses! Besides that we had a great time and then my brother Brad came in Thursday they were all in town for a wedding. They left Sunday it was sad to see them go (as it always is). Then surgery/mom's birthday was here!! We have a few things scheduled for the rest of the month, but trying to keep it low key until the casts are off. As for things Claire is doing she is all over the place and into everything. She is still talking a million miles a minute. She LOVES being outside and we are planning some more trips to the zoo.
Below is a video if Claire doing Wiggle Go from Yo Gabba Gabba! She loves to dance! She has almost come back to her old self and is getting even more active with her casts on. She climbed onto the couch today all by herself! She couldn't do this before because she couldn't put a lot of pressure on her hands. We are proud of her! She is back to regular tylenol and doing great! Hopefully everyone is staying cool in the lovely summer heat!
