Hi all,

My 6 month old daughter Emma is having an open reduction on the 28th July, I am a little nervous about the op and the 6-12 weeks in a spica cast following it.

I have had a few tears tonight just thinking about the op on Wednesday and I'm sure there will be more to come! It is reassuring to hear that I'm not alone and that many children have had this procedure and are now walking/running normally.

Any suggestions on what I should get up to whilst she is having her hour and a half long operation?! I think I will be a mess, I feel for my hubby already!

For those who are going through the same thing, I hope we'll get through this together. For those who have made it out the other side, I hope you can answer our many questions!!
