Blog author 16 May 2008 18:35 | My blog UPDATE ON MY DAUGHTERJust throught i'd let everyone know my daughter is now home from the hospital and is doing well.
The doctors decided not to cut her tendons this time but to give her injections into the muscles in the legs (she was still put to sleep for this). These injections contain amonsgt other things botox and they work by relaxing the muscles and tendons so the doctors can gradually over the coming weeks move her feet etc into their collect postions. So now we have to go up weekly to the hospital where they take off the plastercasts then move her feet etc a little futher and then put new plastercasts on. This hopefully will work to stretch everything without them having to cut them. It is going to be a long and painfull process for her but she seems to be takeing it with a pinch of salt this is the fourth time she has had this type of op so i surpose you can say she used to it. I don't think i will ever get used to it through. Night times are the worse at the moment she is sleeping with me in my hubby and i's bed while my hubby sleeps in her bed, this is so it's easier for me to comfort her when she's in pain and i can give her some more meds to help stop the pain. The pain will get better over the next few days but in the mean time not much sleep for me but that's what mothers are for isn't it??
Thank you to everyone for their kind messages its nice knowing people are thinking of her. |
