The splint is off!!!

Today was the day - 6 weeks post-op from the Triangle Tilt surgery. I gave her Advil 1 hour prior and used a heating pad for about 30-35 minutes and it must have worked, because it was a smooth process for Alyssa. The only pain/discomfort she had was her elbow was bothering her and we did some stretches and shortly after that she was fine. We also went swimming about 1 hour after we took it off and she just loved that. I can imagine after being in the splint for 6 weeks!!! She is touching her nose, did the peek a boo position, and even put her fingers in her mouth and her elbow is not sticking out!!! Her scapula is not sticking out anymore either. Her shoulder seem to be even and not drooped as before also. Truly amazing! If anybody would like to see her pictures, please let me know and I can email you a link.
Happy 4th of July to everyone!
