Elizabeth Update

A quick update on our wonderful patient!

She is doing GREAT at school!

All of her friends, teachers and assistants have been UNBELIEVABLE and oh, so helpful!

She had her 12 week post-op appointment this week.

She was so nervous Dr. F would say she still needs to stay in the wheelchair.

Thankfully -- he gave her the GO AHEAD to walk.

AND

Elizabeth's first time standing on both legs in 12 weeks.  Yes, it is a bit weak but doing oh, so good!

She WOULD NOT GET BACK IN THAT WHEELCHAIR!!

"I'm done with that thing," she said.

Thankfully, pool therapy has been going great and building up the muscles so her body could hold her up.

She needs to continue therapy -- pool, gym and OT for her hands.

She canNOT go out for recess or to the gym at school for another 6 weeks.

The bone growth on the hip is right on target BUT

She is still at high-risk for fractures

SO

NO RISK TAKING ;)

Again, this girl is AMAZING!!
She has definitely made this HARD experience JOYFUL!
