I am glad that the Mod Quad went great for you so far.
I am not sure what you mean by you know all the doc differences.
And perhaps since all caps is considered yelling you should consider switching because it is rude to yell all the time.

Michelle,
I'm glad your son's surgery went well.
Not only is using all caps considered rude, it makes your posts difficult to read, at least for me. Please consider using lower case letters when appropriate.
Thank you,
Joanie

"NO LOSS OF ANY FUNCTION! HE HAS SMALL INCISIONS AND IS MOVING AROUND JUST 3 DAYS POST OPP!"
Does that mean he is not splinted?!? I am confused... I thought Nath splinted for several weeks after MQ. If he is splinted, how can you tell anything about function this early?

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Re: mod quad went awesome
I don't understand Frankie had his modquad last nov the day before we were sent to the pt to be fitted for his splint there were like 20 kids there all different ages the instructions were the same 6 to 8 weeks in statue of liberty splint 24/7 when you bathed him or changed bandages someone had to hold the arm in the air and the child was told not to move there arm. are you sure you got the instruction right???? I have never heard of mod quad being unsplinted especially Dr Nath he even likes to extend the time in splint says the longer the better.Frankie ended up doing 16 weeks. Frankie's surgery was 2 hours not to long. What about therapy OT/PT Dr Nath had frankie going 4x a week for 6 months then 2xs a week for 6 months Glad everything went so well Mare
Re: mod quad went awesome
With this drastic a departure from what others have experienced and what is listed on Nath's own website and literature... I would definitely ask why such a different post-op protocol. It would be horrible if you actually had the instructions wrong! I think it's more likely that a full Mod Quad was *not* done for some reason. I would want to know what that reason was, and exactly what was done.

Re: mod quad went awesome
My daughter was in a spica cast 24/7 for eight weeks following surgery, and then in a splint for an additional three. This doesn't sound like the mod quad to me. Maybe the doctor decided on a lesser surgery with your son's injury and improvement?
