Guest guest Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 [DownSyndromeInfoExchange] Update on Sam Mayer TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2010 The Rollercoaster of Life!!! I'm a little behind in updating the blog...because honestly I think the lack of sleep finally caught up to me. On Friday we took the ambulance to see Dr. Thometz for the post op. appointment. The incisions looked great and are healing nicely. Dr. Thometz showed us Sam's X-ray from after the surgery...yep I winced. That's a lot of hardware in one little boy. He has a plate along his femur and 4 to 5 screws including one going to the hip, he also has hardware along the edge of the hip. Ouch!!!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yes it is alot of hardware. I have 2 kids with lots of hardware in them. Hips, knees, ankles! I don't like looking at their xrays cause it reminds me of the pain they went through. But they sure bounce back quickly !
