All of you sound so wise commenting about postponing any surgeries in order to give Victoria an opportunity to finally enjoy her life and not be encumbered with painful procedures, at least for awhile. I feel this way as an older adult who tires easily of so many high maintenance measures as therapy, medicines, fix-this-fix-that. IMO, do what your mother's (and father's) heart tells you as her #1 champion!louisianabornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188107542646259376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480927676896809475.post-11999730764550432992012-10-03T01:01:00.564-07:002012-10-03T01:01:00.564-07:00My daughter loved the movie Balto.

I never found a thing!<br />I'm glad to know it is real. I love the story of the brave dog. rosedelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908968324873154422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480927676896809475.post-85645843077745301032012-10-02T16:04:29.407-07:002012-10-02T16:04:29.407-07:00Ahhh, before I moved to NH I was in NYC!

But I think you are right to think about Victoria enjoying life too. She has been through so much, and I guess she really needs peace and happiness, and maybe then good-enough-feet will be good enough for a while, instead of the-best-feet-possible.... And she really seems to enjoy herself! Such a darling child!Milenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18042828734758536970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480927676896809475.post-28320701278510440952012-10-02T04:32:13.169-07:002012-10-02T04:32:13.169-07:00Great news that Victoria may be walking soon.

I was amazed by all the different smells, like a new (or not so new) smell every block. AND, I saw the same man in the headress and undies!<br />Thanks for sharing your trip.Debbie Fittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243919918128953343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480927676896809475.post-59087416017370272252012-10-01T23:58:12.926-07:002012-10-01T23:58:12.926-07:00FUN!!!

I don't blame you one bit for waiting about making decisions on surgeries, etc. Who knows what this little one will accomplish and do in these next months?! If it were me I'd wait too. ;-)Joy@WDDCHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709113785857792361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480927676896809475.post-31508702741162252122012-10-01T19:57:06.975-07:002012-10-01T19:57:06.975-07:00She looks wonderful!!!!

We didn't do everything doctors wanted, because we had to weigh out how emotions played into it. <br />The best advice I have ever gotten was from a prosthetist who said, FUNCTION! Don't do too much or you could go backwards. They call those "cadillac kids"...... the money to keep on fixing, but it doesn't help.Christie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738612207150868577noreply@blogger.com
