Her knees are very sore and stiff from being locked straight for the past 12 weeks. She has some sores on her feet, but her hips look amazing. No complaints from that and she seems unphased by them. Amazing since both her femurs are still healing and have pins in them.
We went to PT last week with her cast still on and my girl stood anyway!
Wednesday we went back with just the short casts on, and even though her knees are stiff and sore, she announced that she wanted to walk. I told her that we will work on that. She went back with her therapist and not three minutes later she told her PT that she wanted to stand and go to the toy closet. Next thing I knew she was up and smiling. She then stretched her knees for a little while and the next thing I knew she was standing BY HERSELF! With just an arm supporting her. this is amazing because she has been in some form of casts since early January! Can you imagine not using your legs for three months and then standing on them without blood, sweat or tears?! God, she humbles me...
Today the little firecracker is walking with her walker!! She is still having trouble bending her stiff knees but less than a week after coming out being casted for the last three months she is already trying to walk again!!
Larie, She is amazing and so are You! I may not correspond often but I do think of you and Raj, With love, B
