Post op visit Dec 2017

Got to Philly yesterday and we're lucky again to get a room at the Ronald McDonald house! We saw our dear friend Katee!


This morning we got up bright and early to get the cast off. 


The saw scares her pretty significantly at this point so it was a rough hour Miss Dylann getting it off. But look at those beautiful straight feetsies!


Next we tried on our new braces the got a hip X-ray. Then we waited to see our MD. He said her hip looks great. It's healing  nicely and she was given clearance to weight bare in braces!!

He said her right knee responded so well to the procedure that her leg is almost straight. He plans to take the plate blocking the growth plate out in 4 months!!  She does still complain it hurts.

The MD had her do some standing to see how the braces fit and how things were looking. The only sad part to hear is she has to sleep in these tall braces for years to keep her knee and feet in position. That's going to be a fight.

She had some soreness tonight so stayed in her wheelchair most of the night. Finally she agreed right before bed to let me soak her feet and cut her nails. She then asked to walk and managed to walk like 10 steps independently again!! She continues to amaze me everyday!!!
