the mitchells after posterior surgery on Grace

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to update how well Grace is going after having the

posterior release on that stubborn little right foot! She has

bilateral clubfoot but Dr Frick felt he would just do surgery on the

worst.

Surgery was April 22nd and she is starting to walk really well now.

Before she had been having gait problems. Yesterday she was really

running.

I got her s on Tuesday; lastnight was her second night in

them.

She had been out of the braces for a few weeks before surgery so

pretty much 2.5 months. Before she was crying at night alot and

fussing that her braces were hurting. So I was a little leary of

putting her into a new set........never the less I knew it needed to

be done. SO of course when her new " sandals " came in the mail I

oooohed and aaahed over them with her and big sister joined in.

Grace could hardly wait to get them on later that night. She even

tried them on and modeled them right then. She slept through the

night without waking once, no crying in her sleep and when she woke

up she was not crying because " I want my braces off, they hurt " .

Its going on 9 now and she is still asleep!! For her, thats

amazing!!

As for her left foot(the one not operated on).........it still has

rockerbottom and Grace has told me that the Dr did her surgery on

the wrong foot. I wonder if now it is that she notices something

different in the left foot. I hope the issue will resolve instead

of getting worse.

We will go for a check up and xrays to see if her bones have moved

into position in early july.

Thanks for the update, I'm glad to hear that Grace is doing so well.

Hopefully the issues left foot will resolve too.
