Haley's Surgery

Haley had knee surgery at Seattle Childrens' Hospital last Monday. She had been having knee pain (on-and-off) for well over a year and after her doctor ordered an MRI done he saw why. She had a knee condition (with a really long name that I won't try to correctly spell) that needed to be repaired. Everything went really well and she is feeling good (albeit a little sore). The hardest part will be that she can't put any weight on that leg for 6 weeks!
Here she is on her crutches with her good friend, Natalyn (who, in a display of solidarity, found some old crutches at her house and 'crutched' over from across the street). Natalyn has been coming over after school every day to apprise Haley on what she's missed - not academics, but the truly important things like, Who-Wronged-Whom-On-The-Playground, Who-Got-Sent-To-The-Office, Who-Has-A-Crush-On-Whom...etc. This is important as Haley was very concerned about getting (socially) behind at school.

I can't say enough about Seattle Childrens'! Most of you know that this is not our first experience with them :) They are always so great - easy to see why they are ranked one of the best childrens' hospitals in the nation.
