We drove over to Seattle and back on December 13th for another one of Lydia's doctor's appointments. We turned Karisa's car seat around so she is facing forward now. And she discovered the TV that has been in the car all this time! Lydia is such a trooper...she knew that she was getting Botox injections but you would never have known that by her demeanor. This appointment was actually with Dr. Pham who we are hopeful to be able to also see in the Tri-Cities to frequent less Snoqualmie Pass! Dr. Pham gave her the three injections of Botox that she has had in the past and then also gave her one in her right hamstring. The one in her hamstring we hope will help her to walk more with her leg straight instead of turning her knee inward. Dr. Pham also recommended that Lydia wear her knee immobilizer (brace) all through the night now. Which means we put her orthotic on and then the brace over that so that it stretches her all night and keeps her leg straight. Nothing seems to slow this girl down so I don't know why I worry about her so much!
