Elliott's Tendon Transfer Surgery- UPDATE

[Guest guest]

Happy New Year to everyone.

We just had Elliott to the doctor to remove the first casts and to

have the stitches removed. So far everything looks great. Elliott

was happy to be able to bend his legs, at least for the short time.

Unfortunately for my little guy, he is back in casts for another two

weeks. The new casts are somewhat smaller, they come up just above

his knees. He is only able to walk by holding on to somebody or

something. However, he doesnt experience any pain when he is doing

this. We hope that after the next two weeks that the cast will be

off for good. RIght now, our doctor is unsure about what type of

follow up Elliott will need for his feet, meaning, whether Elliott

will go back into a DBB or into his Bebox shoes at night. Either

way, just being able to see him walk on his own, and not sit on the

floor, looking up at us saying " I stuck " , will be a happy moment.

Thanks to everyone, and our best wishest for a happy and healthy New

Year!
