Why a Blog?

I decided to write this blog, as I thought it would be helpful to other families who have a child with Perthes Disease. It is an honest diary of events and feelings.

Hope it helps,

Annabel starts back at school

Monday, Annabel finally started back at school. A really nice lady is her learning support assistant. Annabel was granted 20 hours of support a week, which means she goes to school, 3 full days and 1 half day.

She has been enjoying seeing her friends again, but is still conscious of the way she looks. We have to close her bar to bet through doors (as they are really wide now), and she uses a commode in the toilets.

She has her pre-op on the 20th June. This just makes it all real, that she will be having her operation. Doctor Price has said it is a 3-4 hour operation and she will be in hospital for a week. He has reassured me that she won't be in plaster afterwards -fingers crossed.

We had a great day out at the Wildfowl and Wetlands on the weekend.
