Casting Day!

Today was Mimi's casting day.  She was pretty nervous as you can see from her picture!  However, it was not as bad as she feared.  She is pretty sore, and they bent her foot back quite a bit so she is super sore now.  She picked black casts to match zebras (and possibly to match "Dead Rosie" also pictured).

Here are the little boot covers to help her walk, which she does fairly well.  She doesn't have a lot of balance or coordination in them, but it works for short distances.  Her little toes stick out at the end, and those little piggies were very cold!

Here she is standing with Nanny's help.  And no, that is not a cigarette!  She got a lollipop for being such a good sport.
We did find out today that since her night splints will not be here by the time we leave for DisneyWorld (compliments of Nanny and Papa, for Mimi's "Personal Triumph" trip), she will have to be casted for the trip.  She was pretty bummed about that (no swimming or getting wet, not to mention the difficulty of mobility) until Nanny told her that we would get a special pen and have all the her favorite Disney characters sign it.


Now, about "Music for Mimi," I am still waiting to find out day and time, but keep thinking of local musicians you know, that might be willing to donate their time and play a set or two.

The Leupp family is overwhelmed by the love and support shown by our friends and family at this time.
Thank you all!
