Just the Facts, Ma'am

Nothing really exciting has happened in the last week so I'm really struggling with what to write about today. The only thing "new" is that Emily worked up to wearing her braces all day (off at night) for about 3 days before she started limping. There were no red marks on her legs or feet and her toes look fine too. We gave her a break for a few days and when we tried putting regular shoes on her, she decided to limp then too! Tomorrow is a new day and we're going to attempt our Super Legs! again. (That's what we call them.)

Today's entry is just about facts. About Emily.
