Limb Lengthening

This blog is about Matthew Drake's Last Limb Lengthening Surgery. I will try to keep this updated as much as possible, with information and pictures.

Still doing well, for the most partl.

We went down to the Inner Harbour with Marlo and family on the wknd. We had an early dinner - (thanx to Marlo's Aunt & Uncle for treating us all!), then did some shopping. It was a nice day. Sunday was an at home day as weather wasn't the greatest. Matt is having trouble sleeping at night - legs and feet getting crampy from lack of use. I'm trying to find a pool we can go to for exercise. But, he is still doing well on bends and flexion. Today (Tues) he got 100 and 105ยบ on bends and his ankle flexion is still good - and all that with no meds - Mom forgot to give it to him!! He is getting stiff, but he's ok. So he is still doing well - almost at 2.25". We have an appt tomorrow for ex-rays to check his femurs to make sure we aren't turning too fast as we've been doing 5 turns every other day for a bit - hope we can stay on that schedule as we're not going to be here for full 3 months of turning otherwise. Just need to be sure that it won't cause troubles if we do, so we'd rather be safe. So, we'll talk to you all later in the week - still love to see some mail....hint, hint!!! Take care.
