MG did really well through all her appointments today. The hip ortho doctor said there are a few scenarios that could play out tomorrow. He's going to see how much range of motion he can get with her hip under anesthesia. If it's just as stiff under, he will do a CT scan. It is possible that her hip may have slipped out of the socket in the back and they would only be able to see that on a CT. If so, surgery would be needed to fix the hip again soon. If the CT shows it's still in socket, we will give her more time to make progress and work out the stiffness with continued PT before considering surgically releasing the muscle.
So, our biggest prayer would be that the hip is still in the socket. I don't think I could even imagine putting her (and us) through another hip surgery and body cast 😢
As far as her expansion goes, her rods are still holding her spine stable and should be a typical expansion. Also her Pulmonologist was so pleased with her repiratory and lung development at this point.
We pray for a smooth surgery and recovery and we don't have to be at ChOP until 11:00, which makes for a later surgery, longer day and no eating for her.
Thanks so much for your prayers!
