We saw the eye doc today and they should be calling me tomorrow to schedule eye surgery for Chloe some Friday in January. He said it's really not a big deal for the children (haa haa - I love how he always says that "it's not a big deal FOR THE CHILDREN". As if the parents are a whole other deal!)
Tomorrow we go to orthopedics to check her out and get a baseline. She has signficant in-toeing of her left foot and her PT thinks her left leg is shorter then her right. We'll see what they think tomorrow. I don't know why I'm nervous about this appointment. I was nervous today too. I know the surgery is no big deal, but I'm feeling some anxiety about it. I'm sure everything will work out fine. Just another surgery to put under her belt. She's my little fighter.
Will keep you posted on tomorrow's appointment. :) If you haven't seen the video of her walking and talking, check out the previous post here.

PT progression
Chloe's been doing great with her PT lately. I've been very impressed with her standing (she stands up in the middle of the room for about 10 seconds) and walking with a push toy or holding hands. She's also been playing in squatting and practicing the exercises the PT gives her by setting up a stool all by herself and going from sitting to standing up against a wall and back to sitting again over and over. I couldn't wait to get her to PT today to show off her skills, knowing full well she probably wouldn't perform. I was pleasantly surprised however that she did MOST of her new budding skills for her PT. She was pleased! :)
Unfortunately her great work was a little over-shadowed by what we both noticed was a signficiant turning in of her left foot! Argh. First her right eye and now her left leg? She's going to be going in circles! LOL (okay, maybe that was inappropriate). We're going to watch it carefully over the next few weeks. PT thinks it's most likely muscle weakness as opposed to bone (good news), but she'll make a referral if she has any question. Chloe's never seen an orthopedist so now may just be the time.
On a side note, I think I get the dumb mother of the year award. Oh how I wish we had this on video! I managed to smash my chin on a table as I was diving into a my hiding place while playing hide-n-seek with my 5 year old, biting both insides of my cheeks and tongue, and jamming my whole jaw up into my head and ears. OUCH! I'm super sore, but okay! Thank goodness!
