Foot Surgery

Reveille has undergone and all but recovered from her surgery on Wednesday. The procedure went well and as always the staff at Children’s Memorial Hospital could not have been more helpful. Reveille has taken this latest medical adventure as just another day and is getting along fine. Personally, I am glad to have this latest procedure behind us and not have another one ahead of us anytime soon. It is heart breaking and tiring to consistently have to see her in pain. It is necessary and the professionals working with her are some of the best in the world, but its difficult all the same. I am constantly amazed by Reveille though, and love her happy little self. She takes everything in stride and is getting very good at bouncing her latest cast. Who knows she may have a future in athletics.

Medical Updates

Some progress has been made in miss Reveille’s life. A few weeks ago she went in for a Cystometrogram. This test is standard for all Spina Bifida patients and the results we received were positive overall.

Her clubbed foot is improving well and hopefully she only has 3 more casts including the one she has on now. She will be going in for a minor surgery on May 6th to allow her heel to drop correctly. After which she should only need one more cast & some bracing after the final cast. It is great to have the end of this step in Reveille’s development in sight. Please pray that the surgery is successful and her recovery is swift.

No More Bandage!

Yesterday was a happy doctor’s visit. According to Reveille’s neurosurgeon, her back is all but healed. That means no more wraps or bandages to keep clean and in place! Reveille did get her 4th cast too. Getting a new cast is never a happy experience for her, but it’s one more out of the way. I am looking forward to the day my daughter doesn’t need any more casts or bandages and she can wiggle free and easy.
