Hi Everyone. We are home now. We got home around 7 or so.
Ayla got her one of a kind prototype never been made before brace/cast made by someone awesome in Windsor:)
We got it all fitted and adjusted around 1/2 and then we had to go back to the hospital to see the Paediatrician and the Orthopedic surgreon with her new "magic leg". So far, they think it's perfect and will be fine. She is able to move her right leg (the one broken) from 180 degrees (laying) to about a semi sitting position so she can sit in her car seat. I do'nt imagine it's super comfortable but at least she isn't locked in one position like we were worried about.
We are awaiting some funding options b/c it's not covered like a regular cast. But the man that made it found us a use pieced of this "thing" that he made, so it cut the cost down, praise God!
Our OT that Ayla has at preschool is coming out tomorrow bringing a wheel chair/stroller and help us digure out some other things that we need (she is also the quality of life specialist). Bum changing is kind of difficult and changing her clothes, so there will be a big learning curve for me on my own.
So thankfully this is all way better than what it seemed yesterday morning. That said, we will be back to building up muscle again after this heals. The heal time would usually be 3/4 weeks in a "normal" child with this break, hers may be quite a bit longer due to the drugs she is on. We know the miracles He can do, please pray for a short healing so she can get back to pounding the pavement.
I also spoke with our social worker through where Ayla attends preschool/phsyio and she's coming out Monday to talk through some stuff and help us get Ezra some help. He has really been struggling so much and i was going to contact her this week anyways, and then this happened.
Thanks so much for all your prayers and support.
