Guest guest Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Both were seen by Orthopaedics this week. to have his cast removed today. Turns out he did break the growth plate in his wrist. It healed well, and he got a note from the Dr for Tae Kwon Do "No sparring or push ups for 2 weeks." The instructors use push ups as a discipline method in class - and while needs to follow the rules and be disciplined, the push ups are not the way to go right now. had her pre-op for her up coming VEPTR surgery on June 10. Her new surgeon is talking about possibly replacing the hook at the bottom with screws, but we will see. He is anticipating that he can get one more lengthening out of her long rod and will leave the shorter rod alone. At her next surgery, he will replace everything with the VEPTR II. Of course, nothing is set in stone until you actually get in there, so we shall see. I asked him about 's neck as I have been noticing she is tipping it more than she has been lately. He is thinking about having a CT Scan done of it after the surgery. Her last one was 2005. (He asked me if she had ever had one and I said "I believe it was 2005 or possibly 2004" I remembered pretty well!) The funny thing was, for both kids, we were put in the same exam room. I commented on it and the nurse said they would name it "The Kimball Room." I said "Ok, now when do I get my parking spot?" Such is my life...
