Week in Review

This week has been quite eventful and not necessarily in a fun way - so hopefully next week will be better. Here is what has happened.

Bob's great Aunt Alice passed away this past weekend. Visitation was on Monday and the Funeral was on Tuesday. Aunt Alice was 94. I had the pleasure of meeting her and speaking with her on a couple of occasions. She was a delightful woman. She had pancreatic cancer. She is in a much better place now.

We continue to job search for both Bob and I. There are some promising leads for both of us. We try to remain optimistic but realistic.

Today, all 3 kids had a check up with the Orthopaedic Surgeon. Both Celie & Anna had x-rays and Jake was just checked - a little torquing here and there.

Everyone is doing well. But here are a few more specifics:

Celie - did an awesome job having her x-rays. She did scream a little - Bob told me, he went in with her while I hung out with Jake & Anna. We had worked on getting her prepared by telling her that we were going to the Drs and that she would need to get pictures taken. She would have to sit like a frog and say Cheese and hold still. Her hip looks very good and is recovering very well. We are still watching the right, but seems to be good for now. As far as the hardware, the Dr. said that we could take it out at 1 year or maybe even sooner. We opted for sooner - so mid March, he will be taking out the hardware. Yahoo!!!!

Anna - her hips are doing o.k. Her right hip isn't cupping as much as her left but is still doing o.k. Nothing that would warrant surgery or anything - at this point.
Double Yahoo!!!

Jake - hip check went well. Dr. didn't feel or hear anything that would worry him. Jake will have x-rays at the next 6 month check up everyone.

The girls are not getting x-rays/check up again - until August. YEAH!!

That is the Ostroski week in review.
