Eight months after Tru received his third prosthetic leg he was being casted for his fourth leg. In this photo he is being fitted with his newest leg. We were not able to take it home that day as it needed more adjustments.
So off to Disney World we went.
Two days before Christmas Tru's fourth leg was delivered.
It always takes him a few minutes to warm up to the newest leg.
Take a look at that clean, unmarked little foot. That would not last long!
Off with the old, on with the new.
Needed some work on the knee alignment.
Tru is always thrilled and fascinated when Mrs. Angie makes adjustments without removing the prosthetic leg.
After a few test walks and more adjustments we went home with leg #4.
Just a few days later we were back for some more adjustments.
Two weeks later we visited with the crew of doctors at the Limb Deficiency Clinic at Kennedy Krieger Hospital. It happened to be a school snow day so Lin-Ley came along.
Tru charmed and impressed as usual.
Just this week we had to go see Mrs. Angie again to be fitted for a new, larger prosthetic foot.
So what does Tru do when Mrs. Angie takes his leg to the shop for adjustments? Hop of course!
Here is the Leg family to date. Tru has named them Baby Leg, Sister Leg, Mommy Leg and Daddy Leg.
It is very important to Tru that the legs all sleep together each night.
QUOTE OF THE DAY:
By: Tru
We have always referred to Tru's left foot as the "good foot" and his right foot as the "new foot". Recently, when attempting to put on his shoes, he asked me to tell him which shoe went on which foot. I told him, "This shoe goes on your good foot."
Then he replied, "Oh! So, this shoe goes on my naughty foot!"
It was eight years ago...
Dallas and I began our trip to China on Feb. 28, 2003.
We had no sleep for around 36 hours.
Finally, we arrived at our hotel in Changsha on March 2, 2003 ready to drop from exhaustion.
To our surprise our baby girl was waiting for us at the hotel.
Dallas spotted her as soon as we entered the lobby.
We rushed to our room, dropped off our luggage and reported to the banquet room where we received our bundle of joy.
