Short Crutches

Gracie has outgrown the pink crutches. These were just loaners from Vanderbilt, so we have now ordered a taller pair of her own. Bad news: They were out of pink! We ordered purple; they should arrive any day.

While Gracie continues to perform well on her crutches, she is still fearful of falling and insists that someone be right by her side or behind her. For that reason, she is using her walker at school. She just completed her first week of school and has amazed us all! He prepared ourselves for a difficult, sad transition, but it just didn't happen. She loves her new school. She is such a star there. Everyone stops to talk to her in the hallway. I'm sure her teachers hope that will calm down soon! I believe it has helped her feel more comfortable there. Starting Tuesday, she'll stay at school all day and ride home with me. That will make for a long week but kids adjust so quickly.
