Grant had his tenotomy

[Guest guest]

Grant had his tenotomies yesterday. Dr. Koop wanted to do it in the OR because

of it being a sterile environment, so we had to prep. I thought it was going

to be really tough, but it turned out really well. Grant sat on daddy's lap

and grinned at everybody while getting his blood pressure, temp, weight, and

all that good stuff done.

Grant is now sporting a plaster cast covered by fiberglass full-length casts.

Yikes. It is hard to change a boy's diapers with these things! He peed in the

upper part of the cast and pooped on the back side of it. LOL One incision

bled a bit more than the other, but overall it went well.

Dr. Koop said Grant has tibial torsion, also. I'm not sure if we'll be doing

anything about that or not, but right now we're trying to figure out what will

be the best brace to use with the spina bifida and retaining the correction.
