The end is in sight. Date for removal of frame

At last we are nearly at the finish line. We have been told at our appointment today that the frame will be removed next Thursday. Ava is understandably ecstatic and I feel huge relief. We only have one more pin site cleaning left - hurray!!!!

The X-rays below show how her bones have developed, so that the 6cm gap is pretty much closed.  Normally the consultant would have kept the frame on for another 4 weeks, but as Ava is now having serial plaster casts for 7/8 weeks we can get away with the frame being removed.

It is such a huge relief and something we have been looking forward to for 7 months!

I'll update next week with some images post op/frame removal.
