Anna,
Your club foot is the perfect symbol of your resolve, undying spirit, and resilience. We have known about your foot since I was 20 weeks pregnant with you, and your treatment has been ongoing since the day you were born. Tomorrow, we hope you have your last surgery.
This was the day of your first surgery- July 3, 2007.
Before your second surgery!
After the "happy medicine" before the surgery.
(above) Recovering at home after your surgery last January. Anna, you are the strongest girl we know and we are so beyond proud of you! Since the minute you heard "surgery" you have been totally focused on the positive- getting a fun color cast, moving to the guest room, and I am sure the undivided attention of many helps too!
Our fingers are crossed that this will be the last surgery for you, but if for some reason it isn't, we know you will take that in stride too. In the meantime, Daddy and I are just trying to keep up with you. While our hearts are broken that you have to suffer through anything at all, we know that you have the strength to get through, and carry us along with you.
We love you baby girl!
xoxo
mom and dad
