A Bundle of Myrrh

December 22: It’s another big day for Rose! The casts are gone and a new stage begins. Ponseti boots. She’ll wear these for 23 hours a day until at least March when we’ll go back for evaluation. After that she should only have to wear them while sleeping. They’re definitely more awkward than the casts were but at least now she can bend her knees and get some stretches in.

December 8: Everything she needs in life. Rose saw her neurosurgeon today for another check up and with great thanks we have absolutely nothing to report, it’s was perfectly boring.

December 2: Another procedure for little Rose today. Just an outpatient snip of her achilles tendons to lengthen them so she can eventually use her feet to stand upright. She really enjoyed having her casts off for a while, she was super chatty before they took her back.

She’ll have a new set of casts put on after the surgery and keep those for 3 weeks before she moves into wearing little boots. Considering all she’s been through already this is a very minor procedure, still it’s one more thing.
