Casting Success

Summer had her cast removed a week ago.  (I have been away from home on business and have been neglecting the blog - sorry!)

Initially her range of motion had increased from -1 to +18 degrees, but after a couple of days it decreased, but only slightly to: Knee straight:10 degrees Dorsi Flexion and Knee flexed:15 degrees Dorsi Flexion.  Still very good.  We also received Summer's new AFO and it came with a night strap to stretch as well.  Now, we just have to use it.  It is so hard sometimes, we are always asking a lot of her:  Eye patching: 2 hours a day, wrist splint: as much as possible, AFO: always, Casting: 3 weeks, Stretches: twice a day.... Oh, and don't forget to have fun, because you are a kid!
