Hi, it’s me again 🙂 Sorry that it’s been so long! I am fully immersed in the busyness of life, school, and volleyball, all at once. Oh, and did I mention volleyball?! It’s so easy to say it casually now, but sometimes I have to stop and remember what a miracle it is that I…
5 months post-op
That smile says it all.❤️Our girl is back on the court! The purpose for these surgeries is not so Kait can play volleyball but to alleviate her daily pain and make life manageable for her future. But getting back to her sport has been a huge motivator in her recovery. Tonight was the first game…
4 1/2 months post-op
Latest update on Kait… Volleyball camp was this week. It is hard to build back up to where you were. I may be biased, but I think she is doing fantastic. It wasn’t that long ago that we were having to physically move her leg for her because she couldn’t, so to see her back…
They that wait upon the Lord…
What a crazy four months it has been! I have seen God’s faithfulness over and over in so many different ways. He has been by my side constantly, teaching me, comforting me, strengthening me… And I’ve needed a lot of strengthening! I’ve had to lean on Him like never before. I’ve experienced some of the…
SHE’S CLEAR!!!
No restrictions- able to run and jump and twist and play volleyball!!! I got Kait this Isaiah 40:31 shirt before her surgery to encourage her. Later, I got myself the same one- to encourage her. She’s more likely looking at what I am wearing throughout a day than what she is wearing herself. I figured…
And we’re off for X-rays and to meet with the surgeon (fortified with our usual charged lemonades- a throwback to volleyball season). I was reflecting on Psalm 46:10 in my devotions this morning. Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted… As much as Kait would like to play volleyball, as…
16 weeks post-op
After two weeks of no PT, Kaitlyn had a fantastic appointment yesterday. Her ligaments were a bit tight from walking through sand and sleeping on the ground at beach camp, but her therapist was able to get them loosened up pretty quickly. They worked on some volleyball specific skills (that help her also with daily…
13 weeks post-op update
It has been 13 weeks since surgery, 6 weeks since Kait was released to weightbearing with crutches and about a month since she started full weightbearing. Today was her 30 day PT re-evaluation. It’s no surprise that Kaitlyn is doing AMAZING! In fact, her right side, which was the hip that was operated on, is…
3 Months… Already?!
I know I haven’t written anything on here for quite awhile. There’s a few reasons for that… first, summer is getting started which means I am pretty busy, along with still trying to catch up on life, and still struggling sometimes with being exhausted or just unmotivated. Also, the thought of trying to give an…
5/31 Ten Weeks Post-Op
Kait is doing fantastic, working hard at her PT and getting stronger. We are so proud of her! But, as we were reminded very sternly by her physical therapist yesterday, she is still healing. She still has limitations. She still fights fatigue. Her body is still mending from the trauma of four cuts through her…
