Happy 2015!!!

Hard to believe it has been 8 months since I last posted, no news is good news!! Ava has been incredibly busy and thriving in every way possible. Dr. A said there are no restrictions in her activity and she has embraced it! Since my last post Ava finished her t-ball season, was in a ballet recital, finished kindergarten, ran 1 of 2 miles (walked the rest) in the Hip Hop 5K, started 1st grade, played soccer, is now taking Irish Step Dance, started basketball and has a new found love of roller skating! Whew!! She's an active little girl.

In August Ava had a follow up with Dr. A. Her visit went well and her hips look fantastic. We do not have to return until next July! Yay!! In October she turned 7 and had her well visit with Dr. K, thankfully Ava grew 3 1/2 inches (Yippee!!) but only gained a pound (boo!!). Since there was a significant growth in height there is not as much of a concern with her weight, although we would love to see her put on a few pounds. Dr. K sent her for another bone age x-ray. Ava is still 2 years behind in growth, meaning her bones are the age of a 5 year old and do not match her chronological age of 7. We will get another x-ray in April and if her growth does not change we will be headed back to the endocrinologist to find out our options.

 I still find my heart in my throat at times but love that nothing holds Ava back. On occasion she still says her right leg is her "bum leg"  but she always manages to push through it. Weather it's watching her play a sport, watching her dance or zoom around the roller skating rink I could not be more proud. She is one amazing little girl and I look forward to finding out the young lady, then adult she will become. She has the world routing for her!
