3.5cm achieved and x-rays

We had our hospital appointment today and the break in Ava's leg bones has now widened to 3.5cm. I have included an x-ray below which is a comparison between the current status vs. our x-ray from 2 weeks ago. The consultant is very happy with Ava's progress. We need to keep on with the knee exercises though to ensure Ava can straighten her leg, which is becoming harder.

Our current prescription finishes next Tuesday when we hope that the gap will have widened by 4cm. We then have a break from the actual lengthening/twisting until our next hospital appointment; which will be the week after.

It will now be during this appointment when the consultant will decide on whether we go for another 1 or 2 cm.
