Post Op Day 7

Another good day today, Libby seemed completely back to herself, we even managed a couple of hours shopping this morning and boy can she shop! Dave took Ben for a sneaky swim (as Libby can’t for another week), so he was happy too.

 We had therapy this afternoon and Libby did a bit of walking (with help) and went on the treadmill, she managed 2 minutes and 1 second (so she tells me) and which point she suffered severely itchy feet, something to do with the sensory nerves healing - this can be quite common in older children. The physio paged Nicole (Dr Park’s assistant) and she arrived and prescribed some medication which we picked up within the hour –amazing service.

We moved to our new apartment which is huge and lovely, shame my pub accommodation isn’t like this! We then took Dave to meet the other SDR dad’s for their night out at the Baseball – another night out for Dave!!!! Mum & I took Libby & Ben for a nice meal at TGI Friday’s and now they are all tucked up in bed - Libby with one knee immobilizer on as she couldn’t tolerate two – Bless her, can’t be very comfortable.

Tomorrow with have physio and see Dr Dobbs who’ll decide if she will be having ham strings and heel chords lengthened.

    Great to see how fantastic Libby is looking. There's nothing like a bit of retail therapy to make you feel better and anyway Libby is going to need some fantastic new shoes! We'll take you out when you get back Toni and don't worry I'll drive! Love to you all x
