Compare these two pictures for Cassie's Foot

The Left Foot one year ago, the new left foot one year after Orthopedic Surgery

Did I ever post pictures of Cassie's Foot Post Orthopedic Surgery

Here are four pictures of Cassie's left foot. Much straighter and much flatter. The difficult issue of muscle tone still prevails. Cassie's big toe always curls up and her foot still wants to roll out. She can correct it when she thinks hard about it. The need for AFO is still one hunderd percent present due to the tendency for the weak foot to want to do its usual thing. The Foot slides easily into her AFO and looks very beautiful. Heading off to see two doctors next week, Orthopedic surgeon and physiatrist at the one year mark post surgery. Also looking for new exercise opportunites. Could not find funding for a bike as we make too much money now that Chris and I both work full time. Found the best bike at Brant Cycle in Burlington. It is a three wheel trike and Cassie has done so well learning to ride. Love the work out the left wrist and hand gets when biking. I am so thrilled with my daughters progress. I am so thrilled with my older daughter Julia as she is the best big sister teaching her little sister to ride a bike and letting her tag along all the time!! Julia you rock!!

Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline Tribute Band and Diner at Carmens Easter Seals Event

We had the privilege of receiving tickets to an event at Carmens in Hamilton Featuring a Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline tribute Band. The Event was a Silent Aution Fundraiser for the Easter Seals of Ontario. The Easter Seals is dedicated to helping children with physical disabilities achieve their full individual potential and future independence. We have been able to go to numerous Easter Seal events in the past and this event was another highlight in Cassie's life. The girls loved the tantalizing cuisine at Carmens. Julia loved the tapestries that adorned the ceiling. The concert was an Authentic "Man in Black Show" and a masterful creation of the unique style of the country singer Patsy Cline. The girls had trouble staying in their seats and danced together at the back of the banquet hall. It was a wonderful event and a great start to our March break 2011.

Julia took pictures of the tapestry!!

The girls dancing at the back of the hall!!

Chris and Cassie at the diner table. Delicious Food!!

Julia and I, Julia looks so grown up at almost 13 years of age. I am so proud of my girls!
