News from the Orthopedic

Good news to report. Toni had an appointment with her Orthopedic MD yesterday. On a 1-3 scale where 3 is a complete tear, she has a category 1 or 2 injury to her MCL. We peppered him with questions about the viability of a natural childbirth. He's given us the green light, stating: "You can't hurt it anymore in labor that you've done already". Reassuring news. Meantime, Toni's been assigned a new and slightly less cumbersome immobilizer. We'll have pictures up of Toni in her new gear very soon.

She's been keeping a sense of humor about the whole thing. Thank God for that. If I were in her shoes, I'd be losing my mind about now
