We are at TCH! Alyssa Gallette

Post by alyssasmommy »

Hi all,

Just found the library with internet access! We are here in Texas and Alyssa is doing great! She had the Capsulodesis yesterday and it was successful. Dr. Nath however noticed that her Brachial Plexus is tight and he said it is probably from the primary surgery and they are splinting her at a 45 degree angle, the first time for him. He believes that over time and with therapy her shoulder/arm will fall into place. I will post more after we get home and I know more.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!

Hi Jody,

I'm so glad that everything is going well! Obviously we didn't make it. I got sick and couldn't travel. Just as well, though. Natty woke up Monday morning with a fever of 103--urinary tract infection. Keep us posted. Hope everything just gets better!
