Heel cord surgery

Dylann had her heel lengthening surgery this morning. She was a trooper during the procedure and everything went great. Her orthopedist said her feet got to exactly where they want them and she'll be ready to go into braces when these casts come off in 3 weeks!! He actually said he thinks her aftercare will be more like typical clubfeet then severe arthrgryposis clubfeet based on how they came along!!! Yeah. That means possible shorter duration of braces. 

So the pain hasn't been great so far though. Dylann never cries and she's been crying for about 2 hours straight. So they did some pain meds and now she's been quiet for about 5 minutes and hopefully will take a much needed nap since she decided to wake up at 4 this morning. She apparently was very excited for the day. Hopefully after a good nap our old Dylann will be back :). The end of her first treatment episode is hopefully near completion!!
