More Correction/Current X-ray

Ava has now completed 2 weeks back at school with a frame. The school have been great and have moved all of Ava’s classes downstairs. They have also made other provisions such as allowing Ava to leave lessons early to navigate the corridors to her next class before the other kids, and setting up a room for her and her friends to use at break time. 

Generally Ava is more settled. She has the odd moments of frustration but on the whole is coping well. She is keen to understand when the frame can be removed but we have not been given a definite date. This all depends upon how quickly the various breaks in her bones heal. This could be anytime between the next 6-8 weeks. Ava will then go into plaster cast followed by a walking cast boot.

Her foot and leg are still incredibly swollen and the various wounds are oozing a bit. I’m cleaning them regularly with the hospital prescribed equipment but they are quite sore and painful. Hopefully as the correction has finished they will start to scab over as we don’t want Ava picking up any infections.

To give you another view of how well the treatment has worked look at the X-rays below.

Will update again after next hospital appointment.
