Jocelyn went back in this Wednesday to have a new cast put on. Turns out after they sawed out the indentation that was giving her a pressure sore in the ER, they packed the hole with material that had a slightly irregular surface and also irritated her skin. So, to be safe we had her old cast taken completely off and a new one put on.
After the procedure was over we learned from the surgeon that her hip has already stabilized. We also learned that she will come out of the cast a bit earlier than we expected - sometime around Labor Day (she will then be in a split cast for about a month after that). So that's good news.
We will be very excited if this is the last time she needs to have surgery. The poor thing had a tough time coming out from under anesthesia, and of course it's not so easy on us either. We are pretty much done with all of this for a while.
Coming into the harbor on the ferry.
Showing off the fashion raincoat (a garbage bag) that Momma and Poppa fashioned for her when a thunderstorm broke out in town.

I like this vacation stuff!
She loved the Rody horse Grammy and Pepere bought her!
I think this might have been her vacation face. She had it going a bunch of times throughout the week, and then as soon as we got home, it disappeared.
