Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 hey!! grace had her consult with dr dobbs thursday... although it was very depressing it was also a relief... she will have to have the heel cord release on her Achilles done again... but he said that's it... and then he is going to put her in the AFO that he designed until she's 4 years old... so she has her surgery on friday morning... him and his whole staff were awsome... i thought vanderbilt was great... but st louis children's hospital is wonderful... he put her in full leg casts till friday to try and stretch as much as possible and she is really mad at them... she can't really stand and she was standing (although not walking) about 75% of the time... and she's a climber... climbs on everything... she has a little mini chair that her nana bought for her and she can't get in it normal.. she has to climb over the arms to get in... so she can't do any of that anymore and that makes her mad... but only for 3 weeks... then she goes to the AFO for 3 months 23/7 and then only to night time... and he said he may reduce to night time sooner because of her advanced age... so we will see... it was a good visit even though i cried at feeling like i have failed her this whole last year... but live and learn i guess... i will let you know how the surgery goes!!! mommy to Grace 12-03-03 BCF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
