Arthroadventure

This blog is about our journey with Arthrogryposis(AMC). It is not just a walk in the park. Flying all over the country for medical treatments for our two kids. Therapies and surgeries. Not always fun but always necessary.

shriners hands

Saw Dr Moran today. Ben doesnt have to wear the splints anymore because he isnt wearing them anyways and is doing just fine and he is allergic to whatever its made of and after wearing one night needs a week or two off to clear the reaction. Needs to keep stretching those wrists and consider later tendon release so he can turn his hands furhter but that is optional.

Sophie needs osteotomy in her wrist and tendon transfer for her thumb and maybe elbow release. He said anytime we are ready. its 8 weeks in a cast and with pins in her wrist. umm yeah that sounds like something I want to do in MAY or JUNE! NOT. We have appointments again in September because I told him we didnt want to rush into anything this summer.
