It was Annabels 6 week check up today. I was feeling positive about it as her limp and pain had not got any worse. We went in and Dr Price did the usual tests of moving her legs in different positions to see what range she has.
The news was not good. He suggested that because her range was very limited - very stiff, that she should be put into broomstick plaster (double full length leg plaster with a bar between them) as soon as possible.
My heart sunk and I cried as they measured her for a wheelchair. This was so real now. Completely gutted. My world or should I say our families world was rocked and changing again. Annabel as usual took it really well, as children do.
We have to wait now for a wheelchair to be ordered, then they will fit her plaster. She will have a plaster on for 6-8 weeks. Depending on how well things go - whether she gains any more range, they will operate or not.
Now I am looking for advice on how I get her around and in a car with a double leg plaster.
Life goes on.
