Doing Great!!

I finally got a picture of me at church. My camera kept messing up. This is my cousin Syd and one of my friends Katie. I have been to church several times. I was really hating my brace a lot but now it is not too bad. I went to the doctor and he gave me good news. He said the anchor points are holding like he wanted them to! I am very happy about that. I asked Dr. Oswald when I could take my brace off. He was kidding with me and said if he was in a good mood in three months he would think about it. He really just needs to make sure everything is still holding. He did talk about my next surgery. It will be in March. I don't know much about it but I know it won't be as bad as the first one. I got my new Halloween costume. Every year my brother and I go with our Mamaw and she let's us pick out any costume we want. It is really fun. Mine is really cute. It is called a Blueberry Girl. I think it looks cuter without the brace on but it can fit over my brace too. It has a little bonnet that goes with it. My bandages are all off now and you can see the scars. They are healing like the doctor wanted them to. They itch a lot but are getting better. I can't see the scars too good but everybody thinks they look disgusting. My little brother almost fainted when he saw them. But they will get better. Thank you everybody for writing to me and don't stop. I am going to try to post an update at least once a week.

Hi "Tall Girl" ... I'm glad your camera is working again, because I enjoy seeing new pictures of you. I've had lots of surgeries myself, so I know how ITCHY you're feeling while your incisions are healing. I'm going to pray extra hard that God will make that itching go away quickly. Have a great day, Sarah ~ I'll be thinking of you.

Love,
Jeanne

Sarah,
You look wonderful and a little taller. I can't wait to see a picture of you in your Halloween costume. Keep up the good work my little hero.

Love and miss you,
Grandmom
