Wonderfully, not only did she not regress but she IMPROVED!!! Which is amazing since she was out of it so much. She actually went from about 9 degrees to 3 degrees! What a little miracle she is. You could tell by Dr. Cahill's face that he was very pleased. So pleased, in fact that Delaney only has to wear the brace at night from now on:) To put this into perspective, initially, she was supposed to be in a CAST for 2 years then a brace 23 hrs a day until she was a teenager. Instead, our girl wore a cast for 4 months and the brace 23 hrs a day for about 9 months. She is at the place with this that we thought she would get to as a teenager! AMAZING! We have been so blessed.
They did do some brace adjustments to make it fit better, so that we could get more use out of it. She is scheduled to have a new mold and brace (which she has to be put under to do) made at the end of May. I always hate those trips, they are so long and grueling...but so worth it!
Just a side note, Delaney has a small blankie with a bunny head that has been "her" blankie for ever. She sleeps with it and it is very loved. Well while getting her xray..she was very upset, so they gave her this cute little Panda Bear. It has now joined ranks with blankie. She hasn't let it out of her site since she got it:) So we now have 2 "lovies" Bear, she calls him, was her comfort at Shriners and is now part of our family:)
