Day 492: Hope for Treats

Tuesday, January 14, 2008 - Just checking in to tell you that all is going pretty well these days. Mady is staying healthy, with the exception of another toe infection. We're back into the constant soaking and wrapping routine.

You will recall that back in October she had surgery on three of the four "corners" of her two great toes. Why didn't they do the fourth corner while she was under general anesthesia and they had her toes all cleaned up and right there in front of them? Good question... The answer is that she had never had a problem with that particular location, and they simply don't like to do "preventative surgery."

So, she will be going back under the toe knife sometime in the couple of weeks and is taking lots of antibiotics in preparation for the surgery.

In other news, the rest of us are doing well.

Buttercup is getting even cuter (is that possible?) and is VERY excited about Barack Obama's upcoming inauguration a week from today...
