Almost that time again...

....It has been just over 5 weeks since Maisie's 2nd Open Reduction. Here we are again, Maisie is going back into hospital on 27th October (next week!!!!) to have her cast changed & a possible Femoral Osteotomy. We wont know if she's to have this other surgery until she's under and her cast is off, if her hip is still unstable then they will probably do it. We have only just got the appointment for Maisie's cast change, at first she was supposed to be getting admitted to the ward, we waited & waited but nothing, so I rang, still nothing. I rang again this Monday and by Tuesday we had an admission, but were not going onto the ward, were going to the day unit instead, I don't know why....

....Maisie has been so different this time around compared to her 1st Open Reduction, she has been moving around since we got home, getting stronger & stronger every day. Nothing is stopping her this time. She can climb on and off the sofa, which at the same time as being as sweet as it is, its sets your heart going. Also she has learnt how to walk, aided by anything that she can push along the floor....



Maisie has taken to perching herself on her potty to play with her bigger toys...

          Here she is with her big sister Hailie, Maisie is managing to balance herself, but folding her half casted leg under her...
