Sophie's Arm Update



We found out late last week that Sophie will need follow up surgery on her left arm. In April Sophie fell off a trampoline at a friend's house and broke her left elbow. They placed pins and she had a cast for over six weeks, but unfortunately multiple x-rays and an MRI have shown there is still a large gap in her bone. The doctor's next plan of attack is to remove bone from Sophie's hip and use it to make a "cement" to fill the gap in her elbow. Unbelievably, Paul had the same surgery as a kid. We should know the surgery date by the end of the week and we'll keep everyone posted.
