Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 , I'm glad Shalom's tenotomy went well and that you were able to have the procedure done when it was scheduled! Do you have the brace already? If so, if that cast starts to cause her problems, you can always get permission to have it removed after the 3 weeks are up and put her in the brace. Better than to have it cause her any pain! Sorry to hear about your son's arm!!!!!! Keep us posted! > So our trip to St. Louis Shriners was successful for the the tenonomy. It was if-y though. Shalom had a bit of a runny nose so we had her checked by our family Dr. here before taking the 2 hour flight. Dr. said she would be o.k. for surgery. Then Sunday night the ped on staff at Shriners questioned whether she should go under Monday morning. I prayied all tht afternoon and night that she will be o.k to have the surgery so I hadn't wasted my time or the pilots. Monday morning her nose seemed to dry up and the Dr. o.k'd her. They gave her a local and put her under real lightly so as to reduce any risk with the last residuals of the cold. She was in and out and waking up in less then a half hour. She was ready to play with the new toy they gave her, her " surgery toy " ,before we left recovery. The casts are heavier then the last ones which is harder on us as we need to watch the weight pulling on her femur so it doesn't get broken from the stress, but all is well besides the heaviness. > She is back to playing and crawling and trying to walk in that Yosimity Sam sort of way. > Our next appointment conflicts with one for our son in Little Rock so we have had to push it back to 4 weeks instead of 3. I'm praying her feet and legs won't grow too much during this month so the casts don't get too tight. Well, that's our up-date, Oh,wait... while we were away my son broke his arm at a playground. So you think it's horrid having comments and looks from strangers with one kid in casts try having two kids in casts. I have more plaster in this house then I care for! > LOL : ] > and Shalom > > > > --------------------------------- > Post your free ad now! Yahoo!
