Mackenzie has literally, re-learned how to roll over and is back to moving all over in her crib despite the diaper splint. She is also back to sleeping on her stomach and probably loving it! She never could roll in the spica cast. Too much weight and too awkward of a position to get the momentum to roll.
As with all things in her short life so far she has been truly inspirational and has adapted so well. The first couple days adjusting back to brace life were tough. She still is angry (I think) that she is not able to sit up in the diaper splint but otherwise is happy to army crawl around and has been getting back into more independent play without needing us all-the-time.
This morning I am home from work and we are headed out in about half an hour to go get fitted for an abduction brace. We are so happy that there is an Orthopedic place here and we don't have to drive all the way to Edmonton for the appointment. I am hopeful that this new brace will give her even more freedom and also not be as hot and sweaty underneath as the diaper splint is.
I will keep you posted!
