Surgery postponed!

I mentioned in my last blog about our daughter having to undergo foot surgery to correct a bunion on both of her feet.  We went Thursday for a second opinion, and this Dr. wants us to wait and check her again in 12 months.  He showed us in her x-rays where her growth plates were not fully fused and cautioned the surgery at this time may lead to another surgery later in life.  During the next 12 months, the appearance of her feet may worsen, along with the pain.  But we trust this opinion and will wait to be reevaluated in a year.  Thank you for all of your calls, texts, and emails concerning this situation.  Your prayers and encouragement mean more than you'll ever know.
