Cast is finally off !!!

Lillian standing 7 weeks post-op . Her legs are still very weak , but she is making a little progress every day . Lillian and Dr. Schiffman ( pediatric ortho ) . He is a wonderful doctor how has done both of Lillian's surgeries . Both surgeries went extremely well with no blood loss or other complications . He also stated that Lillian has amazingly strong bones .

Even the bravest little girls have to shed a tear once in a while . She was so worried about them removing the tape on her incisions .



After a long 7 weeks and 2 days ( it felt like an eternity ) Lillian got her cast off . She was very nervous and was talking non stop in the waiting room . The cast saw did not bother her at all , but the sight of the incisions kind of freaked her out a little bit. The surgeon checked her legs and said that they looked great - you can tell how proud he is of his accomplishment - nice straight legs . And she has grown a bit too ... now we just hope she can get back to walking soon.

  1. I remember those days. It was wonderful when the cast finally came off. Not being able to get to an itching leg was the worse.

  2. Wow! She looks great! I'm sure she will be up and walking around soon enough! She is so amazingly strong! No fear of the cast saw too?! That's fantastic! I can't wait for these next 5 days to roll by and for Sonya to finally be out of her spica! Great job Lillian!
