Well, our two Noelles are going to be brace twins too . My Noelle picked out the same pattern too. No, Ian's original doc is in Alabama and the other is the one you see for your Noelle (I hate not being able to say names on here, lol). We, are at the Philly Shriners this time.

I have to say that I miss our old doc more than I can say. It's so hard to change when you really like a doctor .

How funny about prescreening. Ian picked out the yucky tornado pattern, lol.

Hi Jen,

She picked butterflies on a lavender background.. ... Very soothing! LOL I was sure she would pick the most off the wall pattern so I pre-screened the options a bit!

Steph,Isabella is doing pretty good. We just had a sore on her hip to deal with in this cast but it looks better now. Unfortunately, the poor girl has been knocked out with back to back colds after returning from our casting trip. I just love all those germs that her brothers bring home from school! We are due to go back Nov. 12 and 13th. Thanks for asking about her! How is brace life going?

We don't have it yet. It was a 4 week wait and they just came in yesterday. We are scheduled to up to Philly on the 22nd and 23rd. I anticipate it being difficult since she's never been in any type of device before. We'll see...maybe she will be tougher than I think!

Noelle is doing great! She loves her brace and has adjusted without a flaw... No problems with her not wanting it on, etc.... I am still nervous about it! LOL Which figures for me! I haven't slept right since the darn thing went on..... Butterflies in the stomach worrying about if it will maintain the correction and whatnot.... It'll pass soon just like my cast worries did, but just goes to show that it really is easier on them!

I'm so sorry Isabella keeps getting sick! that's awful...... We had a winter like that last year where we made just about every casting appointment by the skin of our teeth! We're due back in January and I think you will be too.....
