Are they ready?

Last month, I took Mallory to the orthopaedic surgeon to have her left leg evaluated.  The angulation was getting worse and was very concerning.  I had no clue of what to expect of the visit but went in expecting the worst.

After looking at her xrays and reviewing the recent history of her leg problem, the surgeon is confident that this is a growth plate issue.  Mallory will have surgery on Monday.  The surgery will be quick however the process of healing and straightening her leg will take months.  She will not have a cast or crutches and will be able to walk that same day. 

We are very excited that something can be done to help Mallory's leg.  She is very excited to go to the hospital and to be doted on by all the doctors and nurses.  But the real questions to ponder is-  "Are they ready for Mallory?"
