Mya and her legs- Look at how much her femur has grown

This Wed. is 12 weeks since Mya's surgery and we are done growing her femur on her left leg... yeah Mya! We did it! Now she will be in the fixator for about the same number of weeks for what they call consolidation... time to let the bone get hard... it is really an amazing surgery and process and she now walks with no shoe lifts at all. We still do her pt 2 times a day - and she gets roxicet and diazepam at least 30 min. before but she has been a real trooper and does everything I ask from her.... So this is in praise of all she has done ... Dr. Standard said the bone looks strong. He mentioned that with kids who have had polio their bone growth and strength can be affected by the polio but she has done so well with eating the protein and drinking lots of milk and calcium products .... I am very proud of her!
