Prosthetic Take Two!!!:o)

Today ended up going so well! We are very pleased with her prosthetic!!! It only weighs 5 ounces, which is 7 oz lighter than the previous arm. WOWZER!!!!!! I guess I won't be needing to take this one to the supermarket to weigh it:o) She is able to move it all the way up to chin level and it is much more proportionate to her other arm. Better skin color, weighs much less, less bulky, and all around BETTER!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!! Here are some pictures of the new prosthetic:o)
Just sneaking around the corner
I thought this picture was so precious
"Hey look! I got a new arm!!"
On our car ride back home from the RIC. Once again a happy camper!!!!
Daddy and Maddie (For some reason she likes to sick her tongue out in almost every picture:o)
Mommy and Maddie
I wanted to show you a picture without her shirt on so you could see how much more proportionate it is than the last prosthetic.
What the prosthetic looks like
"I am such a big girl!!!"
Somehow I will train her to use her left arm to balance her weight, but I wanted to show you how well she stands up and plays with her toy.
WE are so HAPPY that RIC was able to make something SO MUCH better for Maddie. I feel so filled with JOY and SO THANKFUL!!! Thank you for all your prayers, as we know they were answered!!!! I think I just need to shout out a HALLELUJIAH!!!!

Matthew 7:7-8
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
