Today Rachel made a trip back to Harborview. Not entirely sure what was to come out of this orthopedic appointment, all we knew was 1 of 4 casts was suspected to come off. When we rolled into the room, the doc told us that ALL 4 would be coming off for a while for x-rays. What a lil' fresh air does for someone! After the x-rays, head to toe might I add, finished she received some great news. She would be in a soft-cast for her right wrist, and put into boot/splints that are removable on her feet. I was off to my own appointment and missed this announcement and she phoned me with great excitement! It was such wonderful and unexpected news for her, and us all! Not only did the x-rays reveal that her limbs are healing quickly so is her jaw- she has been cleared 4 days early to eat nearly real food. Pizza tonight! This girl of ours is truly one in a million and good things are happening faster than expected for her, and she deserves every wee bit of it!
This update made me laugh and made my eyes water, Rachel, you are an incredibly strong woman. Enjoy your pizza and keep up the good work.

ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteYou are a beautiful young woman, I heard about your accident,and I am sorry,so sorry. I do not know the particulars,but from what I understand, your injuries are very similair to the ones I sustained (17 BROKEN BONES) in an auto accident in 2006. If you would EVER like to talk, email,make contact in any way, I extend both arms and my heart to you. I have been there, survived, and now 'on the other side' if you will. There are not too many of us out here, and I am here, for you, YOU GO GIRL!!!!
