Wynter continues to steadily do well, with small ups and downs each day. The 3" incision on her hip where they tool the bone graft from tends to be pretty painful, and requires us to change her position every 2 hours. Her body cast also tends to rub and aggravate that area as well. She is still on Oxycodone every 5 hours around the clock. We do physical therapy to help her continue to learn how to balance daily activities. She is still in her wheelchair a lot, and when she walks- she uses a walker with a very "hands on" approach :) The name of the game for the next 6 months is NO FALLS. The swelling is almost completely gone in her foot/leg- praise God- that was the scariest part of this whole thing (and obviously most painful for her). Poor girl. Honestly, she is so strong, so brave, and an amazing trooper! I couldn't be more proud of her- she teaches us all so much! Trying to keep her mind off the pain and motivated to get up and around, we have taken her to the New Jersey Aquarium, and the Philadelphia National Constitution center.....very neat experiences and she has loved it! Such a blessing to be able to have some things to distract and reward her with. We have yet another appointment on Monday for physical therapy and to see the Dr. So we should have another update then. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support! Enjoy the pics!
