Cast off! Cast off!
« on: May 04, 2009, 06:38:05 PM »
My daughter had her cast taken off and the pins removed from elbow earlier today. All looked good on the latest x-rays.
We won't know about any future growth problems for months and maybe a couple of years.

That's good news so far!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Thats awesome Mike.  Glad she is recovering well. 

I dont mean to hijack your thread but keep my oldest daughter in your prayers guys.  3 weeks ago during gym class she was taking a step to retrieve a tennis ball when another one rolled under her foot and she fell.  Her left ankle turned outward.  She is in a boot for now because of 2 torn tendons.  The swelling and pain has subsided, so she did what dr said and tried to walk on it with out boot from time to time.  No go, there is no strength in the foot.  It just gives out.  So that means surgery within the next 8 weeks.

Mike, I'm glad your girl is doing well so far.

Man, that sucks.  I did something similar a couple years ago.  Except I was walking to get the mail, forgot there was a curb..  I remember my foot going completely sideways.  I couldn't walk for a long time and to this day I still have problems walking on it if I get up after crouching or kneeling.  But then again, I'm sure she'll heal a lot quicker that a 30 something year old.

Great news Mike.   That must be one happy little girl, especially with the weather warming up now.

No problem at all Tim. Your daughter will be in my Prayers this week.

Limited activity for the next month. So no trampoline or rough play for that time period.
