Hi peeps,
Hope all goes well for you, Pink Fairy. We have a similar story a little further down the time line.

DD went in for her hip operation a week and a half ago. They did a Salter Oesteotomy, (cutting hip bone horozontally in half, rotating the socket section down and placing a piece of bone in the gap, all held together with pins.) Op went fine, or so we thought! She had an xray on day 4 and found the piece of bone had slipped out and hip had returned to its previous position. So day 5 the operation had to be redone, what an ordeal!! extra pins were put in and she is now in a spica, Phew!
We are now home, and she is doing really well! It is amazing how quickly they recover from such a big procedure (x2). She is back to her cheeky self, and taking everything in her stride (or Beanbag!).
What a little trooper!!!

Kids are so resilliant, and can certainly teach us a thing or two about coping with the things life throws at us.
