Update on Sidney's results
Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 8:59 pm
We have some great news to share. Sidney had her primary surgery in March, as some of you know. She was in a cast for two weeks. On 4/26/07 she raised her arm over her head for the first time. She no longer has the waiter's tip and can externally rotate her hand (when she tries). She can now pull herself up using both arms, or even just the right one. She's even crawling without her hand folding under. We just couldn't be more thrilled and blessed. If Sidney can be any sort of inspiration that surgery can make a difference, so be it. If any parents are out there wavering on the decision, please don't be afraid. Although every case is different and the outcomes can vary, what choice can you make, other than to give your child the possibility for some sort of recovery. As heart wrenching as it was, we know now, we did the right thing. God bless all of our children!
