We're here waiting for our appointment with Dr. Nelson.
I took these pictures of him with my lap top (I'm getting smarter about what to bring with me to pass the time!)
Look how far to the left it's turned out!
Those are some gnarly pins in his shin... yikes!
Kinda gunky & gross... but that's normal.
The top of his skin is SOOO dry. It feels like an elephant foot... but he REFUSES to let me put lotion on it. It's quite the battle when I force it... He's also never had his toe nails trimmed in 79 days!!!!
His knees look dirty & they probably are... but more than that they're super rough from crawling & "walking" on them.
It NEVER fails, though, that when I am prepared with snacks & ways to pass the time, we get seen quickly. Our appt. was at 3:30. It's now 4:20, and we've already had xrays & are currently in the back-room waiting for Dr. Nelson. Those days I leave the house in a rush & forget everything, we are here 3+ hours.
We're hoping that Dr. Nelson says everything looks good and that we can now start the 30 day count down to getting the frame off. (We are soooooo ready for that!)
I'll update once we get home :)
*******UPDATE ON THE UPDATE**************
Dr. Nelson said Josiah's foot looks great and that we can start the count down to removal!
Woooohoooooo!!!!
The TSF will be coming off the 1st week of October. We should be getting a call to schedule the surgery in a few days.
Praise the Lord! No more turns; the correction has been completed.
Next up... a "walking" cast for 6 weeks to 2 months.
