clothes post acromioplasty

[kalliesmom]

My daughter is 5 and she had the acromioplasty done in Feb and I took a bunch of pictures of the clothing I did for her. I will email them to you and hopefully that can give you an idea of what to expect.

Jennifer:

What worked great for us was buying bigger shirts, as you mentioned, and then ripping the seam of the shirt under the sleeve so it was big enough to guide over the splint. It was easy to get shirts over the splint. The arm is supinated out in front and against the trunk. In my opinion, it wasn't NEARLY as bad as that awful SOL splint!
I see someone else is already sending you pictures. Please e-mail me if you want me to send you more pictures or just want to chat about the acromioplasty surgery.

Take care, and all the best to your daughter as she goes through this ...

Hi Jennifer! I have some clothes that you can have for Peyton. Amanda had this surgery in March and I've been saving the altered shirts ....I e-mailed you.

Just a little confused, who is doing your child's acromioplasty? Ours has been cancelled for Sept. with Nath.

Dr. Nath told me that Shenaq doesn't do the acromioplasty...I am just so totally confused at what we are doing at this point...I want to know what to expect, we are still going in Sept., Lisa T. said that they may be able to do something else to address the shoulder, but I would like to know more so I can make an informed decision when we are there...thanks!!
