Well, it's been nearly a year since I created this blog to track Lydia's progress through leg lengthening. Back in April of 2007 she had her ankle reconstructed, which was a great success. Before that her foot pointed downwards like a ballerina and now it is in a normal position, and she's been able to walk and run on it without wearing a special splint. She still wears a lift on her shoe due to the length discrepancy, but gets around just fine with or without it. She also had knee surgery to correct problems related to the absence of her fibula. All of it has gone well and we are now on the eve of her first lengthening and are very excited (and nervous) moving to the next phase! Here she is on her first day of preschool a few months ago.
