The doctors decided to put her legs in a cast to try to minimize her moving around too much and displacing the femur. They estimate she will have the cast on for two weeks. We can still hold her and snuggle her as usual, just instead of kangaroo-ing, we will have the swaddle her and hold her in our arms.
Sarah didn't seem phased by any of it, she is not in pain and it hasn't effected her movements much at all. She is still wiggling all her toes just fine. I think the worst part is, because of the cast, Sarah can not lay on her tummy. While she has the cast on, she won't be wearing any of her adorable clothing, so I am sure when the time comes to take off her cast she will have outgrown most of her Micro-clothes! That thought is so exciting. I can't wait to see how big she gets. Her weigh in's will be a little bit off until the cast comes off since they don't know exaclty how much the cast weighs...another reason to look forward to the cast coming off , an accurate weight after all this.
I have decided that we won't be posting pictures of Sarah in her cast because it looks worse than it really is. We will however, be putting up pictures of her in Daddy's arms today. Yay for Daddy snuggle time!
While we realize that this is serious, in the grand scheme of things, we are greatful that nothing that has happened so far is life threatening. We continue to pray for Sarah's growth and good health.

Sarah pulled the pacifier out for this picture
Nothing is better than a Daddy's loving arms

Dear Erika, Roger and Sarah Chaya,
The Tuesday Tehillim group in Phoenix has added Sarah to our list for a "Refuah Shleymah" a complete healing for this wonder of life. This group of mothers and grandmothers will have Sarah in our thoughts.
With love, Ellen Poor, formerly of Yorba Linda now of Phoenix
Grandma Mimi is saying tehillim constantly for the little darling. Praying for only good, brings only good.
Sarah is a little beacon of light. All those prayers for her healing also help the ones doing the praying. The love and prayers you give others passes through you first (corny, but true). Our thoughts are prayers are with the three of you, and also for the staff caring for Sarah every moment of the day.
Love, Grandma and Grandpa; OOPS! I mean Grandpa and Grandma.
