If anyone was praying for approval thank you so much! I received a call from the RIC last week and we were approved by our insurance company and are ready for the next steps. Maddie has an appointment on November 11th for another fitting. We won't get to take her arm home this day, but will have to go back then again for a discharge appointment. I think it has been interesting how she has started to use her left foot to bring things toward her. It's almost like she knows there is supposed to be something on her left side. She is already learning to compensate. It will be interesting to see how she reacts to the prosthetic once she gets it. I seriously am filled with excitement to see all the things she is going to do!
As someone recently told me, "Two arms are over-rated." Everyone has been so encouraging and so supportive! We are going to teach Maddie she can do absolutely do anything she puts her mind to. I trust the Lord is already using her life as a testimony.
Here is a picture of how strong Maddie is getting. She reached onto my parents kitchen island and grabbed this heavy pumkin right off. I think she was a little shocked herself:o)
