Suzie went back to school today! She’s doing really well and is now off
pain meds and seems pretty comfortable most of the time. The worst is at
night when she’s stuck in one position. She’s still waking up several
times a night. She has two more weeks in her brace and then we can work
on regaining strength with water therapy and PT.
We were able to
give her a bath- it had been over 4 weeks since her last real bath! She
was scared to be out of the brace, but once in the wat
er
she liked it and had clearly missed it. She doesn’t realize that the
rods in her legs support them and she doesn’t have to worry about her
bones moving if she’s not in the brace. It was amazing to see how
straight her little legs are now! Her tibia had a large bump on the shin
where her bone broke in October and healed angled. It’s now gone!
We are definitely past the worst and two more weeks with the bulky brace seems like nothing!
