It's been seven weeks now since Natalie had surgery on her hips, and she's finally able to join other kids in her preschool class! Today was DAY ONE of getting things back to normal for Natalie...and it went well. The original plan was to get her back into school the day after her cast was removed, but of course I had not anticipated Natalie's level of discomfort following the removal of the cast. Her legs have little to no muscle tone and moving them around is quite painful for Nat. Each day gets better, but she is required to wear the brace for most of the day and all night for another few weeks. Physical therapy will be important in getting her back to her old self--and that means we are taking her to PT at the hospital in addition to her school PT time. Hopefully, we can get those legs moving again soon!!
