So many things have been happening, we are in the process of moving out of our house and buying a new one, and in the meantime our family is staying at my Dad's. It's getting crazy but is going to get even crazier!
I scheduled Kyla's molding appt at Seattle Children's for June 4th, 2010. They will take a mold of Kyla's arm so that they can make her prosthetic. We will also choose what kind of hand we want for her, but I believe in the beginning it is just what they call a "doll hand." Basically this will just get her used to wearing a prosthetic, and she will be able to hold her bottle, balls, toys, etc. I will be sure to take photos when we are up there of the molding process and will post them. I do not think it will take long to get her arm back, probably no longer than a month, so we will once again have to travel back up to Seattle to get her arm, and they will do the fitting and then we will see how she reacts to it. Hopefully she won't hate it, but will find it useful.
The next couple months are going to be an adventure!
