We met with Dr. Paley today, and everything looks great!
Right leg: Ankle looks great; pins are scheduled to come out on April 21st. Once the pins come out (outpatient surgery) we will have to get Eloise fitted for a shoe lift and possible ankle brace. Hoping this only takes a few days so we can get home!!
Left leg: New bone growth looks excellent. We are finished lengthening but she needs 1 week of strut tweaking to get everything in line for the bone consolidation phase. We start tweaking today and have more x-rays next Monday. Once tweaking is done, we can come home for the consolidation phase. This usually lasts another 3-4 months. She will not need an eight plate because the tweaking of the fixator will correct her knock-kneedness.
Looking like we are on track to leave the last week of April or first week of May. We are ready to get back and see everyone!!! Thanks for all the prayers and support!
