Ankle pain is gone

Well, as much as we hated to have to go back again, it seems it helped a lot.  Dr. Paley saw where the nerve had been pinched and he "decompressed" it.  The pain went away almost immediately, so that is something to be very happy about. Lydia is doing much better.  She still has little movement in her foot though.  Dr. Paley said it can take a long time to recover, and that they usually do, but I am somewhat skeptical.  I believe her nerve is damaged and will never completely recover.  Hopefully it will recover enough to not be a problem.  We knew from the beginning from Paley and other parents that there are always some complications in these processes, and I guess this is hers. Given the alternative of amputation, maybe this isn't so bad :)
