These are the x-rays that Emma had taken at her Dr.'s appointment. They take all of their x-ray's with digital cameras now, so they gave us a print out of them. I thought that was so cool. I will kind of explain. The first one shows the angle of the head of her femur related to her socket. We want for the angle to decrease as she continues to grow and heal. In the past 6 months her angles have gone from about 28 to 25 on both sides. The Doctor says that is great progress and, so we are happy. The second picture is of the metal plate and screws that she still has in her right leg. We were hoping that the dr. would decide to take them out soon, but she said she wanted to wait another year to do that, so now we are just waiting. She will go back for another appointment in September, we just hope that Emma continues to make such great progress. She is able to do more and more all the time, so we are happy. Another funny thing about these x-rays, every time they took one Emma had this huge smile on her face and would say "cheese", she was so cute.
