No More Halo

Sorry for those of you that checked back on the 13 and no update....I think I was so shocked and had to get to planning!!!! ...So when we went on the 13th he said how does next Monday sound!!!! I said Music to my ears and it was a done deal!! We went last Monday, the 19th and the halo was removed. The Dr. decided that to avoid a halo on the Femur he was going to stunt the growth in the opposite leg, which involved putting a plate in the other knee to allow for the halo leg to catch up in the femur area. This was a quite painful surgery but AGAIN she pulled through and is doing very well. She came home pretty upset that he had to do this but understands everything and is ready to do what she has to so she can be done for the summer!! Being that she is only 4 years old she has learned so much over the last 6 months and is the bravest 4 year old in my book!! This plate is made to stay in for two years or until they get the growth they are looking for. We start therapy tomorrow to work on her ankle. With her leg being shorter she has walked most of her life on her toes and her tendon is very tight. She has to get this worked out to avoid any surgery on her heel. Please continue to pray for healing of both legs, therapy to go as planned, and that we continue to get good reports from here on out!! Until next time......
