....I'm struggling to realise that it has been 5 weeks since Maisie had her Spica removed!....
....Maisie has been continuing to grow & learn, her walking has become fantastic, her left foot is now flat to the floor the majority of the time. Running is a bit of an obstacle. But, over the last 5 weeks, day by day Maisie has been maturing into an intelligent two year old, with regular tantrums! ....
....Tuesday 10th January, Maisie had a 5 week check-up! Maisie was so good while she had her x-ray, we sang twinkle twinkle little star together. When we arrived back to the clinic, Maisie found herself a friend, in the form of a teenage girl who was sitting in the waiting room. Maisie had her new "friend" reading stories to her, with a new book every few minutes. Clinic was running about 45 minutes late, but we were seen at around 10.45am. This time we saw the surgeons registrar, who said that Maisie's hip remains in a good position, AVN has not got any worse. I asked if Maisie was allowed to start dancing, the registrar told us that, she would probably not be able to perform at the Royal Ballet, but some basic dancing if Maisie enjoys doing it would not hurt her. So hopefully sometime in the next few months, we will allow her to go dancing. Our next appointment at RLH will be in May 2012, where we will be in the new hospital that they have built, 7th floor, I am slightly dreading the gravity buzz that we might feel, but I cannot wait to see inside the new hospital, the pictures on the Internet & Twitter are amazing....

So glad all is going well, I will be reading through the rest of the blog and story later. It just made me cry about the dancing, funny how it's the little things that start me. My 12yr old dances non stop, tap, ballet and modern and I would love to one day see Erin doing the same.
