Tommy Lee had his tenotomy today!

[Guest guest]

Tommy had his tenotomy today. Of course he screamed through the

whole thing but not any worse than when I put him down for the

night. Dr. Herzenberg was very happy with the results. He said they

hope to achieve about 10-15% of correction (flexion?) after they

cut. Tommy had 13% on the left and a whopping 27% on the right as

measured by the pre and post x-rays. He said it was the biggest

improvement he had ever seen and it was one for the record books. We

will still go back next week and see Dr. Lamm as Dr. H will be in

Italy. So they will still do weekly casting...this was the plan

because he wasn't seeing much improvement each week. I will keep

every one posted and assume I will see many of you on the 5th.
