It’s around this time that you start thinking… “don’t they know what it feels like to wait for this kind of information??”
I am so hopeful that “no news is good news”. I’m thankful that we aren’t in the place we’ve been a few times, when it was critical to get a read on the MRI as soon as it was completed. However, the expression “bitten once, twice shy” is a neon yellow sign flashing in my mind… I am so respectful of the fact that life can change in the wink of an eye.
In the meantime, the summer is definitely underway. Lauryn is playing lots of volleyball and is enjoying her freedom from a significant amount of homework. Cailyn is enjoying much needed downtime after her frenetic last few weeks of school. She says she wants to improve her physical fitness and has been riding her bike and doing short walks. She also wants to start running but she appreciates that that particular activity is going to have to wait until more complete healing has happened. At her physiotherapy appointment on Monday, her therapist said that Cailyn’s surgeon will be impressed when we see him at the next follow-up appointment in August. To watch her do her exercises and see her smile as she realizes what she’s able to do, gives me such a lift. It also inspires Cailyn to continue with her efforts because she can see a light at the end of that particular tunnel.
Just a short update… hopefully I’ll have great news to share soon!
