Lex had a great physical therapy session, and her leg/fixator is looking good after surgery. Doc gave us her strut turning schedules, and we start the turns tomorrow. According to the schedule, we will turn struts to lengthen/straighten until August 16th!
As the lengthening progresses, we will have to go for office visits to change out the struts....the more length Lex gets, the longer the struts she needs on the fixator! The last strut change on the schedule is around July 20th....so we may have to stay out here at least until then. :(
Here is a pic of just one of several pages in Lexi's strut turning schedule! The color blocks indicate the "window" in which that particular color strut needs to be changed out.
Tuesday is a free day for us.....no PT or appointments! :)
Please keep Lex in your thoughts and prayers....although she is gaining physical strength everyday, she is having a more difficult time emotionally. Grandma and Grandpa are driving out to visit us in a couple of days.....Lex is so excited!
Will post another update soon! :)
