I havent posted in a while, because right now, no news is good news. Friday the 31st will be exactly 12 weeks since the day of surgery and we will be having X-rays to check on the plate and screw placement as well as to see how much bone growth there has been and any healing that has taken place. Since she has not been in the halo (which kept her perfectly immobile), the prayer and concern has been for a tight healing (despite the movement she has in this current collar/ body cast). After the X-rays, we will get a game plan from the surgeon on what recovery from here looks like, and an idea of the time table. I was originally told to expect her to be in a cervical collar of some kind until about 6 months post op, which puts us out of a collar just in time for school to start the middle of August.
On a great, praise God, so excited note: Wynter's scholarship application for her freedom concepts bike was approved!!!! They measured her today, and asked her favorite color, which as you can see from this picture is yellow these days....hopefully she will have the bike in a few weeks. (It is the bike that she was riding in the previous post, built just for her!). These bikes are specially priced at $4200....so this is a HUGE answer to prayer! I wish you could see how happy it makes her to be able to ride a bike!
I will post again, after I have spoken with the neurosurgeon and share the "game plan" for the next step in her recovery! Thank you again for all the prayers and support for our precious baby girl and our family!
