FIRE DRILL!!!!!!

Yesterday we had to take Gianna for xrays. It was our very first fire drill. She started complaining that her back hurt, totally out of the blue on the way to Easter service. She complained of and on, all day and then was in bed crying and up all night. We called Shriners and our wonderful doctor called us back at 3:30pm. He said it was highly unusual for her to start complaining, so we needed xrays ASAP. 

We jumped into the car, and headed for the pediatrician's office so they could transpose the xray order onto the right paperwork. We rushed to Children's Urgent Care to get xrays right before they closed, and then found a Fedex location to overnight them just before their final pickup of the day.... Whew! We played beat the clock- AND WON!

We will know more today, but here is a look at the amazing devices that have changed her life:

Notice the hook on her spine. This is what is holding the device in place.  Can you see why they don't want her bending forward and stressing it? It can migrate(move) or even come off. 

I am accepting donations for bubble wrap. I think we will wrap her in it, and just roll her around everywhere- LOL!

This is the view of the "Y" shape of the new version she has. It has less skin splitting open issues and does the work of 2 rods. She is only the 9th case at Shriners with this new device. Shriners doctors created this newer version last year. We cannot tell you how thankful we are for medical science!
Our prayer requests are: NO infection. We pray this is not the first signs of an infection brewing.

No migration issues causing pain.

And that the Lord would give us wisdom as to why she is suddenly in pain. It could be something as simple as her increase in activity has caused this. She has never ONCE  complained before Sunday, so you can see why we are anxious!
